Midwest Metal Products Partners with Minnesota SE Tech College

At Midwest Metal Products, we believe in investing in the future of manufacturing by providing real-world training opportunities for the next generation of artisans. That’s why we recently partnered with Minnesota Southeast Technical College’s welding program on a manufacturing project aimed at enhancing students’ hands-on experience.

Over the course of two weeks, 10 students from Minnesota SE Tech College had the opportunity to engage in production welding. This program not only allowed them to apply their classroom knowledge in a real-world setting but also gave them exposure to the high standards and precision required in a manufacturing environment.

To ensure the students had the best experience possible, one of our own experienced welders stepped in, providing guidance, oversight, and quality inspections throughout the process. MMP also supplied all necessary components, including castings, weld wire, and more to ensure that students had access to the same materials used in professional production welding. The results of this partnership were outstanding as the students performed exceptionally well, demonstrating both skill and eagerness to learn. Their contributions helped us complete valuable work while they gained practical experience under the supervision of our team. This collaboration proved to be mutually beneficial, as it not only provided students with invaluable learning experience but also allowed us to make a meaningful impact on the community.

Looking ahead, Midwest Metal Products is committed to continuing our support of Minnesota SE Tech College’s welding program. To strengthen this relationship, we are reimbursing the school with donations to their welding department, ensuring that future students continue to receive high-quality equipment.

At MMP, we take pride in investing in the next generation of welders. This successful partnership is a testament to the power of collaboration between industry and education, and we look forward to more opportunities to support workforce development in our community.
