Gov. Evers visits Green Bay West to highlight student manufacturing program
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Governor Tony Evers stopped by Green Bay West High School on Monday to spotlight the school's Bay Link Manufacturing program, which has been giving students hands-on workforce experience for a decade.
The program operates a high-precision manufacturing lab where students learn key elements of the business—ranging from sales and marketing to production planning, accounting, and customer service. Participants also have the chance to earn college credits and obtain their Computer Numerical Control (CNC) certification.
