During the month of October, Manufacturing Month, the Chamber featured a series of videos about various specialties within manufacturing fields such as plastics, packaging, food processing, chemicals, and fabrication. Throughout the month, the Chamber featured local manufacturers who provided behind the scenes looks at their facilities and an overview of job opportunities, required skills, and advancement opportunities within their organizations that was shared with District 303 middle school and high school students, their parents, students at Elgin Community College, and the Community at large! We also hosted a Panel discussion on 10/28 with leaders of the industry to share their insights and expertise. Please take a look at our Manufacturing Page for insights, and check out the recording of our introductory video + the panel for a great look into this prevalent industry!
