OSHKOSH, Wis. — The Woodworking Technology program at Fox Valley Technical College in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is hosting its 36th annual Hands-On, High-Tech open house on April 16 - 17, 2024.  

For this event, the school is inviting every high school woodworking program within 100 miles of Oshkosh to join us for a hands-on tour. Slots are still open for the event. 

Groups of 25 or less will select a time slot that opens up every 15 minutes, and tour the school's 11,000 sq. ft. lab. Each group will progress through a series of activities that are led by the FVTC students that culminate with a finished product that each school group can take back with them. Each group will spend approximately 90 minutes engaged in activities in our lab.

The group will then spend about 30 minutes in the Residential Building Construction program lab engaged in activities with that course. This year, FVTC will also be hosting local employers and material suppliers in a job exposition that exposes high school students to the wide variety of jobs that are available locally. These jobs include everything from standard kitchen cabinetry and closets to aircraft and yacht interiors, spiral stairs, high-end architectural millwork, and furniture manufacturing opportunities.
 
Last year, FVTC hosted 32 groups with a total of 532 students over two days.
