Make it here… Make it a career

The Lehigh Valley ranks among the top 50 manufacturing markets nationally and companies are eager to hire new talent to fill high tech entry-level roles at very competitive starting salaries. In fact, Lehigh Valley production technicians starting salaries are more than 20% higher than production technicians nationally.

 

Career Pathways to Manufacturing is a FREE 8-week, grant funded program that gives participants an opportunity to learn more about modern manufacturing while obtaining the skills and credentials to be successful in the career path of their choosing. The program also provides an opportunity to interview with companies who are eager to hire. In eight weeks, participants will obtain:
