“There are several reasons for hosting this specialized event,” says Dr.Larry Brillhart, NHC’s associate dean of applied technology. “We would like to expose both potential industry partners and prospective students to today’s manufacturing technologies from a continuum perspective. Additionally, the event will educate local industry to the instructional programs of North Harris College-and explain how community colleges meet and exceed industry workforce training needs as new technologies develop.”
