Heavy Metal Tour

October 21, 2016

Hundreds of high school students toured the Energy Conservation and Advanced Manufacturing (ECAM) Center at MATC’s Oak Creek Campus to learn about careers in manufacturing. Dubbed the “Heavy Metal Tour,” the free, public event gave students hands-on experience in several manufacturing disciplines including welding and computer numeric control (CNC) machining. The event was organized by MATC, the South Suburban Chamber of Commerce, and local manufacturers who also had representatives available to discuss careers in their industries.
