Sending an Academies of Racine-sized THANK YOU to Fischer USA Inc., CNH Industrial, Twin Disc, Inc., Knapp Manufacturing, Wiscon Products, and Burlington Graphics Systems for hosting 8th-graders from Mitchell School, Gifford School, Jerstad Agerholm K8, and Schulte School.

In an effort to build excitement and interest around manufacturing careers, Racine Area Manufacturers and Commerce joined forces with RUSD and these companies to give our students an up-close look at machinery used in various manufacturing processes. It was a great way for them to explore future career opportunities right here in Racine.
