Manufacturing 2.0
Rock River Valley manufacturing experts discuss the many facets of manufacturing: technology, education, training, events, people and any other aspects of this important segment of our economy. They’ll use this blog to get the word out and solicit feedback on local and global manufacturing. They hope to better engage our employers, employees and our future work force and increase their understanding of manufacturing.

August 6th, 2008 at 02:22pm Bob Trojan

You’ve seen previous day by day chronicle of the Manufacturing Camps at Techworks, 16 students have now been exposed and trained in the art of manufacturing! These were 8th, 9th and 10th graders who attended to week long program and it’s another 15 who now know what we do!

Another Fast Track program will be starting at Techworks on August 18th and another training program specifically designed for a company shortly thereafter. Nine students will participate in this program with funding made available through Winnebago County.

Mentors are still needed. A special Orientation will be held August 27th at 6 p.m. at Techworks; it’s still time to sign up…not much time involved. Join 5 others who have volunteered to assist in the program.
