Education Programs

The Alliance has been offering programs for students to enter the doors of businesses for over a decade. Thousands of students have participated in the Alliance's Schools2Skills™ program since 2011, making it a state-wide best practice. The program is designed to expose students to manufacturing by offering behind-the-scenes tours of companies creating, producing, designing, and marketing products. This level of exposure allows students to see first-hand the opportunities available to them now and in the future.

The Alliance hosts hands-on industry expos for K-12 students to meet local employers and participate in hands-on demonstrations of career pathways.
