Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb visited Seymour High School on April 30 to learn more about the Owl Manufacturing program and to sign House Enrolled Act 1002 into law.

The education and workforce development bill provides training and education opportunities for Hoosiers to develop the skills that lead to high-wage, high-demand careers.

Owl Manufacturing is an advanced manufacturing class that operates as a student-operated business. It started in the fall of 2016 and has grown from 15 students to more than 40, and next year’s class is expected to have around 90 students.
