“Students are able to use the latest technology to get them used to what they will be using in the workforce,” said Brodhead Vocational Technology instructor Tim Ast. He is referring to the state-of-the-art labs for welding, machining, and nursing assistant programs at Brodhead High School. Collaboration between Blackhawk Technical College, Brodhead High School and Kuhn North America, Inc. made the labs possible. Brodhead students can jump-start their college education in Computer Numeric Control (CNC), Welding, and CNA.
