When Brian Kippen decided to open up a location of his business, KAD Models and Prototypes, in East Randolph, he was excited about his proximity to Vermont Technical College and the Randolph Technical Career Center.
Three years later, he’s now teaching advanced manufacturing to high schoolers at the Randolph center in an effort to expose students to the field and educate the next generation of skilled workers.
“I find that my work here is probably going to be more beneficial in the long run than turning out parts for companies,” said Kippen, whose company designs and builds product and component prototypes. “There’ll need to be somebody to replace me.”
