What's so cool about manufacturing?
Students at 10 area middle schools are finding out, and producing videos highlighting 10 local manufacturers' facilities, thanks to What's So Cool About Manufacturing Capital Region: ceg.org/articles/ceg-launche…
“It’s one thing to tell students about opportunities in manufacturing, but when they get a close-up look at the production process – and the chance to film it – two things happen. One is they think, ‘That’s so cool’; and the other is they say, ‘I want in,’” said Don Wiesenforth, @CEG_NY Senior Vice President and Director of Manufacturing Solutions, the Capital Region Manufacturing Extension Partnership center.
