The BMW plant in Spartanburg, SC is the largest BMW plant in the world. They only make SUV's there yet 70% of them are exported. The plant employs over 9,000 people. They have a program that works with the Vo-tech college where students can learn not just how to push buttons in a plant but diagnose and repair machinery. It's modeled after what they do in Europe for apprenticeship programs. In addition to that, you can pick up any new BMW car, SUV or motorcycle at the plant and go through their safety/performance driving academy . They also have one of the best teen driver academy's out there.
I suggest that if you are in the area, take a tour. BMW has done an excellent long term commitment to that plant. When people think we can;t build products in the US or no plants are being built in the US, I suggest you do some research. It's quite the opposite and has been that way for at least the last 25 years.
