Unlock your full potential.

Through partnerships with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) and other Cuyahoga County school systems, we engage students in career exploration. Join one of our programs, take a plant tour or plan an in-house, hands-on experience at the new Manufacturing Innovation, Technology and Job Center.


ECEC-blue

Early College Early Career (ECEC)

The state-recognized, first-of-its-kind ECEC program was designed to expose high school students to manufacturing and the available industry careers, while building a talent pipeline for employers. The ECEC experience includes:

  • Technical skills
  • Training
  • Full-time, paid summer internships
  • Mentoring
  • Transportation

More than 95% of ECEC graduates receive at least one job offer upon program completion.

If you are a manufacturer interested in ECEC or student interested in a manufacturing career, MAGNET will provide all support services, including transportation and mentoring.
