$500,000 invested in students and future career opportunities is worth paying attention to. The real measure of success will be whether these programs lead to lasting skills, better job access, and stronger wages. Early investment in education can pay dividends for families and the local economy.

From robotics to welding, we’re helping students explore their interests, build real-world skills and prepare for good-paying careers in advanced manufacturing.

"The model works. We have done it in New York state. We're doing it with Micron in 12 school districts. The results are real. We're proud to bring this model and the opportunities it provides to Michigan.” - @rweingarten.bsky.social #CTEworks
