Check out what our partners and schools have to say about the MTCE!
MANUFACTURING & TRADE PARTNERS
The MTCE audience is comprised primarily of diverse high school and middle school students from all over the Southeastern Wisconsin region, as well as parents and educators.
We ask that all exhibitors provide a hands-on experience to help engage students in learning about your business and products. If an interactive display doesn’t work, consider an experience that helps students connect with your brand. Injecting fun into your display with a quick, fun game or hands on experience provides students positive cognitive association resulting in an increased likelihood to choose manufacturing or trades when choosing a future career path.
MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
It's FREE for schools to attend the MTCE - just let us know you're coming! If you are interested in having a school fieldtrip, more information coming out late summer 2024.
October 15, 2024 - 8:30AM - 12:00 PM

Scholarships:
To date, over $80,000 has been raised! Each year, a portion of the proceeds from the MTCE are dedicated to funding education scholarships. These funds, along with corporate MTCE scholarship contributions, are distributed to graduating seniors from each of the chamber partnership school districts. One goal of the MTCE is that high school scholarship recipients return after their education to one of our local manufacturing partners to begin their careers.
Please contact the Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce at 262-255-1812 or The Chamber of Greater Menomonee Falls & Sussex at 262-251-2430 for more information!
