TRMA/TREP Initiatives

TREP is working with TRMA to create a louder voice for local manufacturing.  Every October (sans the pandemic) in partnership with Joliet Junior College, TREP/TRMA’s MFG DAY opens the door and introduces area high school students to manufacturing.

Dynamic speakers and high-energy manufacturing Jeopardy competitions are a part of the day.  However, the manufacturers’ display case is the centerpiece.  Not only does the display case demonstrates the science and technology–the core of manufacturing, but it also allows the students to engage with great men and women of manufacturing.  To see the event over the years, check out the annual photo gallery:
