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.
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.
ACCESS to Manufacturing Careers for High School Seniors
MAGNET is excited to partner with CMSD to bring the ACCESS to Manufacturing Careers curriculum to high schoolers in their final semester. ACCESS is designed specifically for those who are ready and motivated to get into entry-level manufacturing jobs to begin a lucrative career path!
In this program, students learn both job readiness skills and technical competencies as desired by the 20-plus companies who have designed the curriculum and hire graduates. The curriculum includes:
- Technical skills training
- Career readiness
- Hands-on training from employers
- Opportunities to show case skills and engage with companies
