Personal development
Marciano started at Contour as a summer temp. Because that went well, he was then given a BBL apprenticeship at Contour. Marciano says that this was a whole new challenge for him, with the hope of being able to keep working at Contour for a longer period. That hope came true. He has since developed into a shift leader in the CNC bending department.
