High school girls try advanced manufacturing

High school girls try advanced manufacturing: Seven high school girls learned how to weld and more last week at North Iowa Area Community College.

NIACC hosted an advanced manufacturing camp called “Minds On! Hands On!” last week with the goal of introducing young women to career and education opportunities.

“They’re traditionally not steered at all in this direction so they don’t know about it,” Workforce Initiatives Project Manager Renee Anderson said. “We’re trying to get rid of that perception that these jobs aren’t for women.”
