The future for manufacturing in Northeast Wisconsin is bright.
Manufacturing is an economic driver in our community, with one out of four people working in the industry. Therefore, the NEW Manufacturing Alliance believes it is critically important for manufacturers to work with and support education. The Excellence Awards celebrates industry and education partnerships in the region. Over the past ten years, over 500 schools, manufacturers, and community partnerships have been nominated. The awards represent just a small snapshot of examples that exemplify the strong partnerships between manufacturers and education in Northeast Wisconsin.
The Alliance is proud to celebrate the collaborations amongst manufacturers and educators. The Awards spotlight best practices throughout the New North region.
Congratulations to the 10th annual Excellence in Manufacturing/K12 Partnership Awards winners!
