Three of our member manufacturers visited a combined 9 Lawrence County high schools -- Mohawk, Wilmington, Lawrence County Career and Tech Center, Ellwood, Riverside, Neshannock, Union, Laurel and New Castle -- during #ManufacturingWeek and shared details about exciting career opportunities in our industry to hundreds of students. It's an effort coordinated largely by our partners at #LawrenceCountySchooltoWork and one that we hope to grow each year going forward. Today's youth are tomorrow's much-needed skilled workforce as manufacturing continues to thrive in our region. Special thank you to ELLWOOD, Berner Air Curtains and HALL Industries, Inc. for their participation in this initiative.

Among our objectives is to attract net-new jobseekers by promoting the benefits of working in today’s manufacturing environment and through programming that targets youth, under-employed and underrepresented populations in our region. Further, we focus on retaining and up-skilling our current workforce by curating training programs for in-demand occupations and developing pathways for employees seeking to advance their careers.

It’s great seeing all the attention on manufacturing career awareness during #ManufacturingMonth. Credit to our members like ELLWOOD and others for taking time out to go into the schools with this message.
Manufacturing Week continues for ELLWOOD! We visited schools throughout Lawrence County to talk to students about the great careers available in their own back yard. We talked with hundreds of students this week and made some great connections! #manufacturing #manufacturingweek #MFGDay24 #manufacturingcareers #workforcedevelopment

Happy #ManufacturingDay! Our member manufacturers have been out in force this week, most notably at a series of manufacturing career-awareness presentations at local schools in partnership with #LawrenceCountySchoolToWork. Read the article linked below to learn how our two organizations are committed to youth outreach initiatives like this to spread the word about local companies with rewarding career opportunities. Thank you to representatives from ELLWOOD, Berner Air Curtains and HALL Industries, Inc. for leading Manufacturing Week assemblies at 9 local schools. #manufacturingday #MakeItInMfg

LMMC members have had the opportunity at these school presentations to share their perspectives about the many rewarding career opportunities available in our industry. A great partnership with Lawrence County School to Work.

Lots going on this week for #ManufacturingDay among our membership. Great to see the youth engagement!
Yesterday we hosted Manufacturing Day in Warren, Pa with more than 175 area students visiting our Irvine complex. The three ELLWOOD divisions came together to host students for a tour, resource fair and more. It was an incredible day as we continue to work to raise awareness of career opportunities with ELLWOOD and in manufacturing! #manufacturingday #mfgday24 #workforcedevelopment #engangement #careers #steel #forging #crankshafts #manufacturing #manufacturingcareers

Meet our newest manufacturer member, Container Services, a FirmaPak Company of New Castle. You'll find their blow-molded plastic bottles in virtually any grocery store in the region, including the ultra-familiar "honey bear" that you likely have in your own kitchen cupboards (yes, that's them!). We also welcome plant manager Brian Richards to our board of directors. Brian and CSI Bottles share many of LMMC's values, including a passion for promoting #ManufacturingCareers among our region's youth. Read more about CSI Bottles through the link below. #LawrenceCounty #MercerCounty

It was exciting to see what Kennedy Catholic is doing with its Pathways program that exposes students to various career paths that they might not otherwise consider or even know about … namely #manufacturingcareers

One of our key initiatives is promoting manufacturing careers so the next generation of talent can see the livelihoods that await those who work hard and strive to learn our industry. New members can be part of that effort. Here's an example how one of our members uses video storytelling to put a face and a voice to one of our industry's many individual successes.
