Talent Tours Help Students Learn About Local Businesses

Students from the Char-Em ISD Career and Technical Education Welding Program in East Jordan went on Talent Tours at two local businesses. The 12 students, including two from the Jobs for Michigan’s Graduates (JMG) program, visited Aster Brands and Harbor Industries in Charlevoix. Talent Tours give students a chance to learn about local businesses and career opportunities. Aster Brands is a sales, marketing, and intellectual property business that invents products for the concrete manufacturing space. Harbor Industries Inc. is a full-service manufacturer of point of purchase displays and store fixturing. The Talent Tours were coordinated by Northwest Michigan Works! and the Char-Em ISD.

Networks Northwest always proves to be a valued resource for our local government planning efforts. No organization does a better job of convening partners, promoting collaboration, and reporting on the data than does Networks Northwest
