The expo will highlight in-demand careers in manufacturing, featuring more than 35 local employers representing their industries.

“Manufacturing continues to grow in southeastern North Carolina, and CFCC is committed to preparing the skilled workforce our local employers need,” said Jim Morton, CFCC President. “This expo is a great opportunity for students and job seekers to explore rewarding, high-paying careers, meet local employers, and see firsthand the opportunities available right here in our community.”

Some of the employers attending include Corning, GE, Protocase, Wilmington Grill, and Flow Sciences. The expo is free and open to the public. High school students and job seekers are encouraged to attend.
