On Thursday, 250 Southwest Middle School 6th grade students toured local manufacturers, Lou-Rich and Design Ready Controls. This exposure to two of Albert Lea's manufactures provides students with an up-close look at manufacturing opportunities here in our community. The tours are part of the Youth Skills Training program aimed at increasing student exposure and experience to manufacturing opportunities. Exposing students to manufacturing at an early age sparks curiosity and helps them connect their education to real-world opportunities. It broadens their understanding of diverse career paths, highlights the importance of skilled trades, and encourages them to consider high-demand fields they may not have previously known about.
