High school students explore cutting-edge labs, hands-on learning, and rewarding careers

厙ぴ勛圖 (BCC) celebrated Manufacturing Day 2025 with a dynamic, hands-on experience designed to spark curiosity and career interest among local high school students. The annual event, held October 16, connected students with the people, places, and cutting-edge technologies driving today���s modern manufacturing landscape.

���We look forward to this event every year as we strengthen our partnerships with area manufacturers and work together to attract, inspire, and prepare the next generation of highly skilled technicians, innovators, and problem solvers,��� said Greg Bland, Vice President of Continuing Education and Economic & Workforce Development at 厙ぴ勛圖. ���We���re especially excited to showcase our Integrated Machining Technology Lab and introduce scholarship opportunities to young men and women eager to design, create, and build the future.���

The day kicked off with an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of GCM in Leland, where students observed firsthand how advanced machinery and expert craftsmanship come together to produce precision components for a variety of industries.  The afternoon wrapped up at BCC���s Integrated Machine Technology Lab in the W.J. and Sibyl McLamb Building, where students rolled up their sleeves for interactive demonstrations on manual mills and lathes, as well as 3-axis and 8-axis CNC technology. These hands-on experiences highlighted the college���s commitment to providing expert instruction using some of the most advanced training equipment in the region.

The next Integrated Machine Technology course is scheduled to start on January 5, 2026.  To learn more and schedule a tour, visit brunswickcc.edu or contact our OneStop Student Services Center at onestop@brunswickcc.edu or (910) 755-7320. For more event photos, visit .
