2011 Manufacturing Camp Grants Awarded

Nine community and technical colleges were awarded grants to assist in the production of summer manufacturing camps for junior high and high school students. Participating students will learn how to create and manufacture a product from start to finish – beginning with a CAD design project and continuing through the manufacturing process. They will also tour local manufacturing companies to learn about local career opportunities and the kinds of skills and training that will be needed to compete for the available jobs. They will meet with local manufacturing entrepreneurs to learn how product ideas become businesses.
