The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development has awarded the Cedar Grove-Belgium Schools District a grant to bolster its tech programs.
The area schools district is slated to receive $50,000 which will be used to purchase a Haas ST-10 CNC Lathe.
This piece of equipment is expected to help students experience a real-world manufacturing environment and gain exposure to today’s automated fabrication technology.
Using the equipment, the school district will be able to support the high-demand careers of CNC machine operators and provide tangible skills development.
In total, $473,000 was split between 14 school districts to help give them a boost in their tech programming.
