As a supplement to the Job Fair, the annual Manufacturer’s Day in Starke County is set for Thursday, Oct. 12.
The Starke County Economic Development Foundation will host the event at the Knox Middle School where 350 seventh grade students and 200 students from four schools will learn about the various industries in the county.
Students from the Knox Community School Corporation, North Judson-San Pierre School Corporation, Oregon-Davis School Corporation and Culver Community School Corporation will learn what each company manufactures and what job skills and education are necessary to secure employment at the facilities.
This year’s theme is “Focus on Your Future” and each participant will receive a take-home bag full of items based on the theme as well as a brochure highlighting the SCILL Center and each of 16 manufacturers available at the Manufacturer’s Day.

Manufacturing Day Events Planned for Starke, Pulaski Counties
Posted on August 31, 2017

Manufacturing Day is just over a month away, and economic development officials are getting ready. Seventh graders from around Starke County will once again have the chance to meet with representatives from local industries, during an event hosted by the Starke County Economic Development Foundation.
Executive Director Charlie Weaver says there will be few changes to this year’s event. “We are inviting or have invited all seniors to join the seventh graders, who are not going on to college, and to try to give them an acquaintance of what’s going on in their own community,” he explains. “As last year, that includes North Judson-San Pierre School, Knox, O-D, and Culver, to pick up the North Bend kids.”
Also new this year is a job fair for local manufacturers. “Everybody but one that I’m aware of is desperate for more people, and our goal, of course, is to bring back into Starke County the labor force that’s working outside the county,” Weaver says.
Meanwhile, the Pulaski County Community Development Commission is planning an event of its own, according to Executive Director Nathan Origer. “We’re working on possibly doing a job fair that is geared explicitly toward seniors in high school,” he told the Pulaski County Commissioners last week. “So rather than companies setting up and doing it for hours for a normal job fair and hoping five people from the general public show up, doing it with a captive audience, high school students.”
Origer pointed out that many manufacturers have jobs available for students who plan to attend college, as well as those going straight into the workforce. “Our manufacturers hire attorneys,” he said. “Some, if they’re large enough like Braun, have corporate counsel. They have accountants and salespeople, and other white-collar jobs. So you can go off to college and get a degree and get a white-collar job then, if you want to come back. So we’re going to be working on that, and also just trying to get teachers and parents more tuned into the difference between modern manufacturing and that image of that dirty, dusty, gray nasty place, dimly-lit, from 50 years ago.”
The events will be held on or around Manufacturing Day, which is officially observed the first Friday of October.
