17th Annual HTEC Haas Technical Educators Conference
We had such an honor of getting to attend the Gene Haas Foundation’s 17th annual HTEC Educator Conference hosted by Dunwoody College of Technology and speak during a session to teach more people about what we do here at Project MFG and how we are working to help elevate the next generation of highly skilled trade professionals by changing mindsets, fostering community preparedness and challenging how the critical skills needed to succeed in modern advanced manufacturing are taught. This conference is truly exceptional. We had a blast getting to meet and connect with so many wonderful people and friends. We are excited about the future of HTEC and our ongoing support for manufacturing education!
