The manufacturing environment in the packaging industry is a fast-paced, technical production environment requiring skill to maintain the required output from high-speed packaging machines. The program focuses on the manufacturing industry; however, the skills students acquire will provide a foundation for entry into the dynamic field of manufacturing in positions such as maintenance technician, field service technician/engineer and machine assembly/installer. Come explore the equipment, technology, and courses that WITC uses to train the future workforce. WITC is one of four schools with packaging programs that IoPP-MN supports. Meet Instructor Charles Christensen, Congratulate Bearman-Henningsen Honorable Mention Winners Steve Jeska and Doug Jacobsen and tour the program. There will be demonstrations by students to give us an idea of the content covered in their courses and the skills acquired.
