Breaking Traditions is an annual event sponsored by Minnesota West Community and Technical College and the Southwest Minnesota Private Industry Council. The event is designed to encourage high school students to consider a variety of career paths through hands-on and interactive activities. High schools are encouraged to choose a campus to tour that reflects the interest of the majority of students.
There is no cost to the students or schools that attend. We will provide lunch, snacks, and all materials that are used for the activities.
