KM WOODWORKING CONTINUES TO BUILD HIGH STANDARDS!!! Mr. Bruening is adapting our woodworking program to meet even more stringent requirements from Wisconsin's Department of Workforce Development's (WDWD) for their Career Technical Education Incentive Grants. The program is expanding from a saw blade certification, to the new Woodwork Career Alliance's Core Credential, which is a more advanced certification of readiness. While it is a challenging program, KM is committed to fostering a skilled workforce.
