Westbury Bank has committed $25,000 to Moraine Park Technical College’s capital campaign to fund advanced equipment for the expanded Manufacturing and Trades Center at the West Bend Campus.
“At Westbury Bank, we believe strong communities are built through strategic partnerships with quality organizations like Moraine Park,” Jerad Yapp, senior vice president and chief community banking officer at Westbury Bank, said. “We’re proud to support Moraine Park’s Advanced Manufacturing Center, which will help equip students with the essential skills our local employers—many of whom are valued Westbury Bank clients—need to succeed. This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering educational and economic growth.”
The $2 million equipment campaign, launched in 2023, is focused on supplying Moraine Park’s upgraded training spaces with state-of-the-art tools and technology to meet the needs of students and employers across Washington County and beyond.
Fueled by a $500,000 matching pledge from Washington County, the campaign has garnered strong community support. To date, Moraine Park has secured $1.54 million in pledges from local partners.
Westbury Bank’s investment highlights the region’s commitment to workforce development and ensuring students have access to hands-on, career-ready training.
