Post-Secondary Schools & Other Options
There will be representatives from technical colleges and apprenticeship programs students can talk to regarding the pathway through high school and after to secure one of these careers. We welcome 4-year educational options to exhibit as well. Contact us for more details.
Scholarships
A portion of the proceeds from the MTCE are dedicated to funding education scholarships. We support students seeking post-secondary education toward one of the many careers available in manufacturing and we have seen results. With your partnership we can continue to provide the opportunity to make that happen. So far almost $60,000 has been awarded in scholarships from this event.
