Estacada High School
Estacada Class Participates in Oregon Manufacturing Day at Northwest Technologies
By working together during and after MFG DAY, manufacturers will begin to address the skilled labor shortage they face, connect with future generations, take charge of the public image of manufacturing, and ensure the ongoing prosperity of the whole industry.
A big thank you to Eric Sale and Aaran Nation of Northwest Technologies, Matt Lorenzen of the City of Estacada, and Glenn Ludlam, our manufacturing teacher, for their work in putting this event together.
