Middle school students attended an Explore Manufacturing Academy at MCTEC on Friday, October 10. Students engaged in hands-on activities planned by industry representatives from Conn-Weld, AMR-PEMCO, and Timken. We appreciate business representatives for partnering with us for this event.

Representatives from business and industry met today at the Mercer County Technical Education Center. They were invited to collaborate with career technical teachers and administrators. An overwhelming number of attendees came to tour the campus and learn more about skills, credentials, and free college credit available to students. The goal of the event is to establish relationships and share information to better prepare students for careers.

A big thank you to Robert Crawford and Andrew Means with the Education Alliance for visiting our students today to help them get signed on as Americorp mentors! These students received goodies, including a laptop, and will be getting compensated for their work in our local elementary schools.

We are so thankful for our partnership with the Education Alliance and look forward to another year working together!
