Assisted Harper Community College to redevelop an advanced manufacturing program that now has some 350 enrolled students with potential for 1,000+
Provided manufacturing scholarships to Harper’s program with plans to support other training providers

Worked with local secondary schools and community colleges to support dual credit/advanced placement courses to get students on a STEM manufacturing career path with college credit prior to attending a two or four year college
