Reception Immediately Following
Clackamas Community College, Niemeyer Center
The conference includes a complimentary lunch and reception.

There's a new manufacturing world out there and the horizon is brighter than ever!

American manufacturing is innovative, fast-paced, creative and diverse. There has never been a better time to encourage students to pursue a career in manufacturing where professional opportunities include welding, fabrication, engineering, accounting, business management, worldwide sales, international trade and more.

Join us for a journey from the classroom to the manufacturing floor and learn about the skills and educational qualities that are needed to develop a career in this evolving industry.

Don't miss this opportunity to:
Discover the relevance of classroom content from across the curriculum to the manufacturing workforce
Meet with leaders like Congresswoman Darlene Hooley and County Commissioner Martha Schrader
Talk with presidents and executives from leading local and international manufacturing firms
Connect with local, regional and state partners from academia to economic development
CEU credit and substitute teacher reimbursement is available to Clackamas County educators.

This could be a clearinghouse for lesson plans. To add one all you have to do is reply and add. If it gets going I can create separate areas for each program.
