It’s Manufacturing Monday

Talk about a full-circle project! 🔴⚙️⚫

The ceremonial shovels used to break ground on Lake Tech’s manufacturing building in 2017 are now permanently displayed thanks to the skills of an Advanced Manufacturing and Production Technology student.

Just eight weeks into the program, Jaidyn Vanscoy designed custom wall mounts using CAD software, then brought his design to life through 3D printing.

That’s advanced manufacturing—and that’s what hands-on learning looks like at Lake Tech.

🏆 We’re winners… AGAIN! What a way to celebrate 60 years of workforce excellence!

Last month, Lake Technical College was voted 2026 Central Florida’s Favorite Trade/Technical College — and now we’re proud to announce that Lake Tech has been named a 2026 Best of Florida Regional Award Winner in the College division!

For 60 years, Lake Tech has been preparing students for successful careers and providing the skilled workforce our community needs. What began in Eustis in 1966 has grown into a premier regional workforce training leader serving students, employers, and communities throughout Lake County and beyond.

These back-to-back recognitions are especially meaningful during our 60th anniversary year because they reflect what has always made Lake Tech special: exceptional students, dedicated faculty and staff, strong industry partnerships, and a community that believes in career and technical education.

IT’S MANUFACTURING MONDAY ⚙️♟️

It may look like a game of chess, but there’s some serious manufacturing behind these pieces.

Designed and machined at Lake Tech, this custom chess set puts advanced manufacturing skills on display—from design and CNC programming to precision machining, tooling, measurement, and finishing.

Every contour, dimension, and surface finish requires precision—the same skills used to manufacture components for today’s most advanced industries.

Designed. Programmed. Machined. Made at Lake Tech.
