MAKE IT IN UNION COUNTY MANUFACTURER INTEREST
Make It in Union County is your opportunity to open students’ eyes to the exciting, high-demand careers available in modern manufacturing. Each October, local manufacturers step into classrooms and open their doors to show students what a future in this industry can look like. Your involvement helps build awareness, spark curiosity, and grow the talent pipeline right here at home.
There are two ways local manufacturers can get involved: Speaking in Classrooms, and On-Site Field Trips. Read the details of both below.
Speaking in Classrooms
The Make It in Union County Speakers will introduce students and educators to the great careers in manufacturing.
Speakers from local business and industry spend time in the classroom sharing information about their business, career opportunities, education requirements to work in their business, salary ranges, and more.
Last year’s student survey results showed 94% of the students learned new information about the companies and the career opportunities available to them from these presentations.
Speakers will be in a variety of classrooms across Union County Public School middle and high schools during the month of October.
We have a training planed for Speakers on September 9, from 8:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. at the Union County Chamber. If you are interested in speaking in classrooms, a Chamber team member will follow up with more details on the training.

On-Site Field Trips
We support efforts to build an ongoing talent pipeline through field trips with Union County Public Schools students. These tours allow manufacturers to showcase operations, which can generate enthusiasm for their company and the manufacturing industry.
Students get to see in-person what a career in manufacturing could look like, along with an up-close look at how operations work.
These tours take place during school time in the month of October. If you are interested in hosting a tour, please complete the form at the link below and a Career and Technical Education staff member from UCPS will follow up with you to help plan details. Due to school policies, these tours need to be scheduled by the middle of September.
