Students who successful complete the program will be awarded a Manufacturing Academy Certificate at graduation along with their OSHA 10-Hour Safety Certification Card.
Several representatives from partner companies attended the December 12 press conference to support the District with its new enterprise. A tour was provided showcasing some of the equipment being used for the program.
