Moss Point Welding Students Place in Project MFG Competition

Point Career and Technical Education Center’s welding students — under the guidance of instructor

Cynthia Harris — recently participated in the Project MFG competition hosted by Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula. Jonathan Hardy (pictured right) won first place, and Nicholas Tapper (left) placed second. Both students were presented with employment opportunities at the end of the competition.

Project MFG emerged as a collaborative effort with communities, educators and industry leaders to elevate the next generation of highly skilled trade professionals. Together, they promote the prestige of manufacturing, accelerate the manufacturing trade’s workforce training and education pipeline and collectively level up the broader manufacturing industrial base.
