Following a busy schedule, over 40 AMT students took advantage of meeting with Secretary of Education & Workforce Development Hal Heiner and state legislators to ask questions on manufacturing policy, the future for manufacturing jobs in Kentucky, and how the legislators got started in their political careers. The students were also given a chance to attend the General Assembly. BCTC Legislative Interns Brady Morris, Jorden Jones and Aric Martin led tours throughout the Capitol building for the AMT students.
