“Explore the New Manufacturing” program gets kids interested in the growing industry

Experts say the manufacturing industry is growing: Companies are looking to fill tons of positions they have available. Now, a statewide organization is trying to get the youth interested.

West Virginia Manufacturers Association Education Fund hosted a manufacturing workshop for kids on the campus of West Virginia Northern at their Weirton location Friday. 

It’s all part of their program “Explore the New Manufacturing.”
