MUSCLE SHOALS– Northwest Shoals Community College (NWSCC) held their Metallica Scholars Manufacturing Day Wednesday, October 25, on the Shoals campus from 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. The open house networking event offered an opportunity for students to explore the manufacturing careers possible through NWSCC.
Manufacturing Day is held annually on the first Friday in October to promote manufacturing careers with events held throughout the month. NWSCC will provide an opportunity for college students, high school students, and the general public to experience and learn more about eight manufacturing careers: Auto Service, Carpentry, Design Engineering, Electrical, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), Industrial Maintenance, Machining, and Welding.
NWSCC was one of the schools chosen for the 2023-2024 Metallica Scholars Initiative, funded by legendary rock band Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation. This program supports NWSCC students in advanced manufacturing and construction majors. Metallica Scholars Initiative students served as tour guides for the event.
The Quad Cites Daily was on hand to capture the event in photos. Enjoy!
