Testimonial: I just want to take a moment and thank you for having my students and staff being able to attend the Manufacturing Career Event on 5/9. Everything was so organized and planned out accordingly. 

I loved how informative the presentation was for the pipelines. It provided just the right amount of information in a short amount of time. Students were able to stay focused and not lose interest. It gave many of them hope. Most of my students were interested and wanted to learn more. Some of them have started talking about taking the next steps for the programs that were discussed. This is HUGE for them.

I was also impressed with the companies that were on-site. They stopped, took their time, and explained in detail what their company was and how it operated. They had patience and kindness towards the students, which alleviated a lot of nerves.
