Careers of the Future are in Manufacturing – Heavy Metal Tour 2023
County Materials is a National Sponsor of the Central Wisconsin Manufacturing Alliance's Heavy Metal Tour. We participate in this state-wide, hands-on day of learning to educate middle school students on the opportunities available in local manufacturing.
County Materials hosts tours at our facilities during the Heavy Metal Tour to give students the opportunity to observe production first-hand and ask our team members questions. Students see concrete pipe and block being made, the fabrication of metal forms, and a variety of vehicles and equipment in our truck maintenance shop.
The perception of manufacturing is changing. Through plant tours and education initiatives like the Heavy Metal Tour, students are learning that the manufacturing industry is dynamic and growing with innovative technology and a variety of career opportunities. Whether students want to pursue an apprenticeship, a 2-year or 4-year degree, or start working right after high school, manufacturing offers limitless paths to success.
Together, we’re building a company that hardworking people are proud to work for, live near, and do business with since 1946.
