LSC Foundation Receives Generous Contribution for Student Scholarships in CNC Programming
|
|
The Lake Superior College Foundation has received a generous grant contribution of $12,000 from the Gene Haas Foundation for scholarships for students in LSC's CNC Machine program.
There is strong workforce demand for trained CNC machinists. These scholarships will help LSC continue to aggressively recruit, train and retain manufacturing talent here in our region. Thank you to the Gene Haas Foundation for their generosity and support! Special thanks to instructor Max Udovich for his impressive work and partnership on this project, as well as his ongoing passion for students and the program. The entire team downtown has been really great to work with as we've been seeing increased interest in tours and information in our in-demand manufacturing programs.
