More than 70 junior high girls recently learned about careers in the manufacturing industry at the Women in Manufacturing Summit at the Quad-Cities Campus.
The day included breakout sessions where students participated in virtual welding, supply chain management, making keychains on a CNC machine, and production line flow. The students enjoyed lunch from The Little Brown Box Delicatessen (a woman-owned business) and a panel discussion with women who are making an impact in the manufacturing industry.
Thank you to event sponsors John Deere, the City of Galva, Springfield Armory and McLaughlin Body Company and panelists Jill Castree, Renee Jewell, Sara Ryan, Beth Takemoto and Jodi Zimmerman.
