A small strange-looking machine in the Technical Education Center at Danville Area Community College could be key to helping some area residents land manufacturing jobs. DACC Manufacturing Instructor Doug Hunter describes the machine….
And Hunter (shown on right in photo) told VermilionCountyFirsts.com News if you think there are no good manufacturing jobs available locally – better think again….
Although there are a lot of manufacturing job opportunities in the county, Hunter says the trick is getting young people to stay in the county to fill them. He says Danville Area Community College is offering some incredible training opportunities. Local industries are also playing a key role in the training. For example, thyssenkrupp has a youth apprenticeship program that just received some national publicity in the Financial Times.
