Welcome to the The MN Century Program!
Advancing Career and Technical Education in Northern Minnesota
The program is the result of The Rural Career and Technical Education Consortium Grant that was awarded to 38 northwestern Minnesota school districts in 2020. The funding was used to purchase 38 computer numerically controlled (CNC) routers, laptops for the CNC routers. In addition, funding continues to support instructor training and professional development for computer-aided drafting (CAD) and design software.
The students have enthusiastically begun learning valuable skills that will provide them with a head start in CNC and CAD mastery in the workforce. There are many creative projects that the students have completed, and new projects are being produced every day. Some have been shared with us! Check out the projects!
