Central Christian College breaks ground on new manufacturing hub
Central Christian College of Kansas will break ground on a new manufacturing training center to house the Bradbury School of Manufacturing and Innovation. The ceremony will take place at noon Oct. 2 at 1200 S. Main St. in McPherson. The project is funded through support from the Bradbury Family Foundation.

Students will train with machining, CNC, CAD/CAM, robotics and automation equipment while developing the technical and professional skills needed by regional employers.

The school offers industry-recognized certifications and stackable credentials leading to an Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Technology.
