Moraine Park Technical College’s West Bend campus will host a Heavy Metal Tours event during October’s manufacturing month.

“At Moraine Park we are working to erase any stigmas that surround the manufacturing world,” Marcia Arndt associate dean of manufacturing at Moraine Park said. “These companies offer great career options and the tours will give the opportunity to view what it would be like to work in these high demand industries.”
