CVTC Mobile Lab

Chippewa Valley Technical College will join us at the Cardinal Manufacturing Open House with their mobile lab featuring welders, CAD stations, and other hands on activities for students and the community to try out and see in operation.  CVTC continues to be a wonderful resource for Cardinal Manufacturing.  Be sure to check out their information when they are on site.

Learning is the main focus of the Cardinal Manufacturing program at the Eleva-Strum School District. Since 2007, Cardinal Manufacturing has been providing exceptional education opportunities for students to build professional, problem solving, and career skills. The program also was designed as a localized way to address the skills gap in advanced manufacturing and to engage our students in meaningful education. We are exposing students to the potential of manufacturing-related careers, sharpening their technical skills, and instilling the soft skills and professionalism that employers crave.  Learn more at www.CardinalManufacturing.org
