MakerspaceCT Receives $350,000 Hartford Foundation Grant to Support Manufacturing Training Program for High School Students

MakerspaceCT’s Engineering Primer Program (EPP) seeks to address the goal of providing training for high-quality jobs in underserved and vulnerable communities, supporting regional economies, and closing the access gap in manufacturing and technology. The program achieves these goals by delivering a dynamic set of skills and abilities to high school students so that they have the necessary tools to secure careers in the future. To support this work, the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving has awarded a $350,000 grant to MakerspaceCT to support its EPP initiative.
