The communication I've had with industry leaders in Michigan about the program itself comes primarily from their visits to our schools… I tell them, 'Get prepared, because you're going to have 18-year-old kids with more knowledge than some of your employees.' That's an exciting proposition for them because a lot of jobs are unfilled." —Mark Whelton, Superintendent, Bridgeport-Spaulding Schools | Bridgeport, MI
