Ivy Tech Community College’s Kokomo Campus will open its technical and industrial programs to juniors and seniors from its six-county service area and invite local employers to meet potential future workers.
Ivy Tech Kokomo will hold a Manufacturing Day event on Oct. 2, scheduled 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., for area high school juniors and seniors.
Representatives of area businesses and industries are invited to participate and meet students considering technical and industrial career paths.
Manufacturing Day events typically give high school students hands-on exposure and clear information about pathways into the secondary sector, including certificates, associate degrees and career-track programs. For students weighing college choices, technical programs, or entering the workforce, the event provides a concentrated way to compare programs, ask questions of instructors, and meet employers who hire locally.
Why this matters for employers and schools
Employers get an early look at prospective local talent and can present entry-level roles, apprenticeships, or training partnerships. High schools and career centers gain a direct connection to postsecondary training options available in their region, which can inform guidance counseling and student planning.
High schools and career-center staff should register their junior and senior students if they plan to attend. Employers and industry representatives who want to present, staff a booth, or meet students should sign up through Ivy Tech Kokomo's event registration process.
What this event connects to locally
Ivy Tech Kokomo's outreach to local students ties into broader local workforce activity, including campus programs, hiring announcements and other community events hosted by the campus. The college's service area covers Cass, Fulton, Howard, Miami, Pulaski and Tipton counties, making this a regional recruitment and information effort for both students and employers.
If you are a junior or senior exploring technical programs or a local employer looking to recruit and inform future workers, Ivy Tech Kokomo's MFG Day on Oct. 2 is an organized, single-day opportunity to connect students with program staff and employers in the manufacturing and industrial sectors.
