Governor Tom Wolf today toured McDowell Manufacturing, an enterprise run by students of McDowell Senior High School in Millcreek School District, and highlighted his long-standing support for Pennsylvania's leading manufacturing industry since taking office."Kids are the future of manufacturing in Pennsylvania," said Governor Wolf. "The $16 million I've invested in manufacturing training programs during my time in office is a down payment on a successful future for those who take part in the programs, the industry, and the commonwealth as a whole."Millcreek School District received a 2020 Manufacturing Training to Career (MTTC) grant for nearly $200,000 which supported the launch of McDowell Manufacturing, a pilot program for high school students to run a real manufacturing enterprise that partners with local manufacturers. In February, Governor Wolf awarded an addition $99,730 to continue expanding the program and increase capabilities, student participation, production capacity, manufacturers engaged, and students prepared for advanced manufacturing careers.List of Speakers:Kayla Radu, McDowell ManufacturingRobert Zaruta, President and CEO of NWIRCDr. Ian Roberts, Superintendent of the Millcreek Township School DistrictGovernor Tom Wolf
