COLORADO SPRINGS — More than 300 students from Widefield and Peyton school districts may now have a lead on their careers.

The Manufacturing Industry Learning Lab, or MiLL, held its first ever Industry Days on Friday.

The event taught students about opportunities in industry and manufacturing.

Employers from 19 companies were there looking for prospective employees.

The MiLL houses a manufacturing and construction program for high school students that lets students earn industry certifications to help them to be hired after high school.
