The Elkhorn Area School District has been announced as the recipient of a $33,556 Technical Education Equipment grant.
Gov. Tony Evers, together with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD), announced that, thanks to grants from the Wisconsin Fast Forward Program, 4,637 students in 17 school districts will benefit from advanced manufacturing training to prepare for high-demand job opportunities.
EASD will use grant funds for a Haas Mini Mill CNC vertical machining center with a 4th-axis drive, a servo rotary table, and a classroom simulator. The equipment will be used for advanced manufacturing industry training and certifications and will meet the skills demand of the local manufacturing workforce.
