A quick note from the Executive Director:
In 2020, the Center began operating under its 2020-2025 Strategic Plan. As outlined by Minnesota State for Centers of Excellence, the Center is focused on three strategic priorities:
Engaging Industry
Enhancing Education
Inspiring Students
|
|
To ensure we meet and continue to meet the needs of manufacturing, the Center is establishing a new Executive Board, comprised of manufacturing stakeholders. At the table will be secondary and post-secondary educators, workforce development representatives, manufacturing subject matter experts, manufacturing association leadership, and others. The first official meeting will be held mid-July 2021. We are looking for manufacturing stakeholders to be involved with the Executive Board, and the initiatives of the Center.
If you are interested in learning more or getting engaged with the Center and its initiatives, please contact me.
