What is Explore?

We believe it is important our student educational opportunities are fun, exciting, and build awareness about the diversity of available career options. It is essential that we forge strong collaborations between manufacturers and educators that directly help student discovery and understanding.

Through high level programming, the Explore Program provides a myriad of opportunities for students and manufacturers to discuss and share commonalities. Moving forward the program will expand its programing mission to meet the needs of students from middle school through high school and post-secondary training.
