A Future in Woodworking

From: Mike Lorge, ​Instructor-Wood Manufacturing Technology at Fox Valley Technical College

The Woodworking Technology program at Fox Valley Technical College has been training viable woodworkers since the first graduating class in August, 1983. The young woman in the video was a great student with very little knowledge of the industry when she came to us. What she says in the video about being able to do precision work while also being able to be artistic is a very real propensity among people in this industry.
