CLEVELAND – Lakeshore College unveiled its new mobile manufacturing lab – a self-contained training space is available to any organization interested in providing or demonstrating hands-on manufacturing-focused training.

Funding for the lab – which Lakeshore will provide the instructor for and deliver it to its desired location – was provided through the Workforce Innovation Grant program, in cooperation with the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation and the Department of Workforce Development. 

The lab was a key component of the $1.64 million grant awarded in 2022.  

“With manufacturing serving as the largest industry sector in our community, we understand how critical it is for Lakeshore College to not only provide the workforce education and training employers need to succeed but also to make it accessible,” Lakeshore College President Paul Carlsen said.

Individuals trained in the lab can become certified in 15 industry-relevant skills in welding, quality assurance, computer numerically controlled machine tooling and electro-mechanical systems. 

The lab can be stocked with equipment, including programmable logic controller machines, Fanuc robot trainers, hydraulic systems and AC/DC electrical trainers.
