Publisher and Editor in Chief : Mark Washington, Sr. Practicing gowning with Poppie the Panther Youth Manufacturing Day Showcase Career Opportunities For Hillsboro Students Portland Community College’s Willow Creek Opportunity Center (241 SW Edgeway Drive) ignited the spark of curiosity and ambi- tion in about 60 high school stu- dents from Washington County on Feb. 28. In collaboration with the Hillsboro School District and the Washington County Chamber of Commerce, the center hosted an immersive Youth Manufacturing Day aimed at shedding light on the diverse pathways within the manufacturing industry. Attendees embarked on a whirlwind tour through six in- teractive stations, each offering a glimpse into the exciting world of manufacturing. From donning bunny suits at the gowning station to delving into the cutting-edge realm of virtual reality, students had the opportunity to engage firsthand with various aspects of manufacturing technology. In ad- dition, representatives were on hand to discuss job and employ- ment opportunities at their compa- nies, including Jireh Semiconduc- tors, Qorvo, Align Precision and Twist Bioscience, to name a few. “PCC and local industry part- ners have a shared goal to raise awareness of manufacturing and semiconductor jobs with career growth potential,” said DaNene Dwyer, program manager with the Willow Creek Opportunity Center. “At Youth Manufacturing Day, high school students were able to explore opportunities in an industry they might not have considered before.” In its second year, the event aims to not only showcase PCC’s array of manufacturing-related programs but also to inspire the next generation of industry lead- ers. By offering a hands-on expe- rience and highlighting the prac- tical applications of bioscience, microelectronics, and more, organizers hope to spark enthu- siasm and encourage students to pursue educational pathways that align with their interests and aspirations.
