Manufacturing and Education Link Discussed at Loadmaster Plant Tour
What happened
Mike Rogers' bus tour stopped at the Loadmaster refuse equipment manufacturing plant in Norway. David Brisson, who has expanded the facility since 1992, noted that the company needs more people to compete for talent. State Sen. Ed McBroom and Iron Mountain Schools Superintendent Jerry Sardina discussed the Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District's plans for an industrial arts facility, which uses a state grant to introduce manufacturing and engineering activities to students.
Why it matters
The discussion highlights the demand for skilled labor within the manufacturing sector, as Loadmaster seeks to expand its workforce. The Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District is using state funding to create curriculum designed to build a pipeline of students into high-skill industrial jobs.
