“We are hearing remarkable stories on how this program is helping create more educated and experienced skilled workers,” said Senator Howe. “DeZURIK is absolutely deserving of this grant and I am confident that they will continue to be an industry leader in manufacturing in our area, in part because of programs and learning opportunities like this.”
