Nearly 600 middle and high school students from two dozen schools spent part of their school day recently learning what Connecticut's manufacturing industry has to offer.
They took part in EXPLORE MANUFACTURING: A Stop on CT Manufacturing Roadshow '23 Sept. 28 at Dodd Stadium in Norwich.
It was a chance for more than two dozen manufacturers and training and support organizations in attendance to meet young people, and expose them to the industry.
