WHS Celebrating Manufacturing Month

Posted on: October 8, 2023

October is Manufacturing Month in Wisconsin. WHS students and instructor Mike Fellin attended the Career Fair day at JP Cullen & Sons on Thursday, October 5th.

A variety of large hands-on demonstration areas such as concrete pouring, excavating, and carpentry skills activities were set up to allow students to put themselves into the shoes of the different trades. Active tradespeople shared their experiences, training, and advice to prospective students who wish to join the ranks and talk about career paths in the Skilled Trades.

Thank you to JP Cullen and Sons and sponsors for inviting WHS students to this event.

Whitewater High School would also like to thank the local companies who are sending representatives to our Technology and Engineering Advisory Board Meetings. Technology and Engineering Teachers Mike Fellin and Justin Buntrock, along with Computer Science Teacher and FIRST Robotics Advisor Laura Masbruch welcomed representatives from 10 local companies on September 25 to discuss Youth Apprenticeships as well as fieldtrip and guest speaker opportunities to introduce more students to the opportunities available in the trades.
