MSD of Steuben County received a grant for$68,370.15 from the Don Wood Foundation to support the Advanced Manufacturing Pathway at Angola High School. By having our own AMATROL training equipment, we will be able to give students hands-on training with modern equipment used in our local industries. This will allow us to expand the certifications students can earn so students can stack SACA certifications to increase their employability and provide employers with candidates already holding desired certifications. Ultimately, these students will serve the advanced manufacturing employers of northeastern Indiana whether going straight into the workforce or following college.
On April 18th the Chamber of Commerce will be sponsoring the 11th annual EBBIE Awards at Glendarin Hills Golf Club. The awards event highlights best business, upcoming business etc. This year, we have several “Educator of the Year” nominees. We congratulate the following teachers:
