Discover Manufacturing Career Expo
WELCOME TO A NEW VIEW OF MANUFACTURING!
Today’s manufacturing industry holds opportunities that satisfy a wide range of interests – from science, engineering, and mechanics, to areas like finance, sales, and communications. So does manufacturing hold opportunities for you?
Our goal is to help you begin to explore the endless possibilities in our industry, introduce you to individuals within your community who can help you determine whether manufacturing is a good fit for you, and help you plan your path forward.
You might be surprised by what you discover!
North Central Regional Betterment Coalition (NCRBC), Illinois Valley Community College (IVCC), Starved Rock Associates Vocational & Technical Education (SRAVTE), and our Sponsors and Supporters have come together in cooperation to provide you with this day-long field trip experience.
This yearly day-long field trip will expose you to potential job pathways and the skills needed to successfully enter the world of manufacturing in North Central Illinois!
Talk to your counselor, get signed up and see modern manufacturing for yourself!
“Manufacturing has been a great learning experience for me. I learn new things all the time.”
“I never thought manufacturing would offer so many positions within the office environment, such as purchasing, sales, technical, accounting and human resources.”
In 2019 over 200 students visited North Central Illinois area manufacturers for a morning tour. Then, students gathered at the Illinois Valley Community College’s new Peter Miller Community Technology Center in Oglesby to eat lunch, participate in a career expo featuring a number of local manufacturers, listen to speakers, and speak directly to local manufacturing employees about their choice to begin a career in manufacturing.
