Last week, our high school students wrapped up the final tour of local manufacturing facilities with a visit to Atwood Tool and Machine Inc. They got a unique behind-the-scenes experience guided by a Whitney Point alum, who shared insights about the family business. This high-tech tour allowed our students to see advanced manufacturing operations in action, giving them valuable hands-on insight into the field and potential career paths in this growing industry. A huge THANK YOU to the Atwood family for hosting us and supporting the next generation of skilled professionals! #WhitneyPoint #CareerReady #LocalIndustry #Manufacturing
