PIC offers Manufacturing 365 summer camps
Local young adults between the ages of 16 and 21 can earn money by participating in one of four Manufacturing 365 Summer Camps.
During the camp, participants will go on field trips to explore local career and technical schools, have a chance to use a welding simulator, listen to speakers from local manufacturing companies such as Kennametal, Elliott Company, Digital Foundry and earn a MicroCredential with Catalyst Connection. Participants will receive a daily participation stipend and earn a work ethic certification though “Bring Your ‘A’ Game.”
Lunch will be provided during the camps, which will be held locally at Fay-Penn Economic Development Council in Lemont Furnace and the American Legion and Verticals in Brownsville.
Camps will operate Monday thru Thursday for 6 hours each day for 2 weeks.
“Manufacturing is identified as a high priority occupation in this area.” Says Michel Keller, vice president of education and workforce development at the Private Industry Council. “These camps will introduce young adults to the opportunities available in manufacturing right here in Western PA.”
