As the Toolbelt Generation gains momentum with more youth considering a career in the trades, join Carl Sandburg College as they share on their journey in developing a work-based learning pilot designed to expose youth to manufacturing career pathways. This 16-week pilot, funded by the ICCB Trades School Grant, allows students to complete credit-bearing coursework, explore careers through group visits to local businesses, participate in a stipend-funded WBL experience at an industry partner site, and successfully earn a certificate of completion through Sandburg's 16-hour Employability Skills Academy.
