Manufacturing Career Pathways
Welcome to MakeItIllinois' Career Pathways listings!
Career Pathways are broad groupings of careers that share similar characteristics and whose employment requirements call for many common interests, strengths and competencies. The desired outcomes of Career Preparation are student achievement and ultimate success in a career(s) of choice.
On MakeItIllinois.org, we provide information on 6 career pathways in the Manufacturing Career Cluster, along with occupations in each pathway, companies in Central Illinois that offer jobs in that pathway, and indivudual current job openings. Click on each of the 6 career pathway links below to learn more about each, as well as learn the indivudual occupations in each pathway:
Maintenance, Installation & Repair
Manufacturing Production Process Development
Health, Safety, and Environmental Assurance
Logistics and Inventory Control
Personal aptitudes and interests are important factors as students begin to identify career opportunities. Career Pathways give flexible identity and structure to the student career choice process as well as to educational programs and services that contribute to the career preparation of students. Even though described as part of Career Development, the alignment provided through Career Pathways influences all Career Preparation components including those at the post high school level.
