Educators are excited to partner with industry to provide a talent pipeline. Successful programs continually seek input and collaboration with employers and industry leaders to align educational programs with workforce requirements.

Sponsor and host a virtual industry tour
Sponsoring a virtual tour of your facilities provides flexible and free access to career exploration for students and creates an opportunity to make connections with your local schools. The videos can range from 15-20 minutes long and we can even help you plan your tour if you’d like!
We have created a reflection assignment for educators to implement in their classes that can be applicable to any tour. This assignment is compatible for hybrid or distance learning, appropriate for middle school and beyond, has a potential for a live Q&A with the tour hosts, and comes with an educators guide.
If you have questions and would like to talk more about this please email us at [email protected]. To view the virtual tours we made, please click on the button below!
Volunteer at a NITRO-X SUMMER CAMP
Nitro-X is a Summer Camp hosted by colleges and high schools across Minnesota and Wisconsin where middle schoolers work on remote controlled cars and learn about careers in the transportation industry. We’re always looking for industry help whether it is volunteering at a camp, hosting a tour of your facility, or sponsorship. If you’d like to connect with us on ways you can partner with the camps, please connect with us!
