Engineering and Welding hold Advisory Meeting
Discussion points:
2. Business/Industry would like to see Engineering and Welding do cross-training activities with their students. Blueprint reading and fabrication are areas of need.

Advanced manufacturing training would be a great asset to business/industry in HIllsdale County. Discussed the Litchfield training facility and how we could use this as a training rotation for engineering and welding students. Businesses would provide the machines and training?
4. HR representatives would like to see students participate in mock interviews. They are willing to come and speak with kids about resumes, interview skills, filling out an application, etc.
