We’ve kicked off our
DuPage County Industry Insight Series!
Our first session brought together local manufacturers who actively partner with the workforce system and champion workforce development. The goal was to have a solution-focused conversation about challenges and opportunities in the manufacturing industry while gathering valuable insights from industry leaders.
These takeaways will help inform future programs, policies, and community responses. The event also served as a space to share resources, exchange best practices, and build connections—all to determine actionable next steps and plan future gatherings.
Slide 1DuPage County's manufacturing sector comes together to support workforce initiatives!
