High school students often make the mistake of quickly ruling out a career in the manufacturing industry, overlooking the presence of strong local businesses that are looking for skilled young workers.
They’ll get a real glimpse of those jobs next spring, however, as numerous manufacturers in Jefferson and Lewis counties will open their doors for field trips to 11 of the 19 school districts in the region.
That plan was highlighted Friday during Manufacturing Day at the Fireside at Partridge Berry Inn, attended by about 40 stakeholders including teachers, guidance counselors and industry leaders. The daylong event included a lively round-table discussion with a panel of manufacturing leaders, along with a tour of the New York Air Brake facility at 748 Starbuck Ave.
