The enhancement of Moraine Park’s manufacturing and trades wing on the Fond du Lac Campus will create classrooms and specialized labs to address local workforce shortages and provide enhanced spaces for instruction in software training, programming, product design, manufacturing and robotics.
Student Impact:
The proposed enhancement will bring:
• A larger learning space with more equipment that is reflective of industry standards and offers students a seamless transition from college to career.
• Increased opportunities for high school students to learn college credits at the 27 district high schools.
Community Impact:
• There are expected to be more than 14,000 manufacturing jobs open over the next 10 years.
• 26% of jobs in the district are in manufacturing.
• 64% of students work within MPTC’s district after graduation.
Estimated cost: $13.7 million*
*We received $2 million in donation pledges to help offset the cost of this project.
