The Greater Chicago Advanced Manufacturing Partnership is a coalition of area manufacturers, educators at all levels, trade associations, workforce boards, municipal economic developers and more. GCAMP works to bring everyone together to solve the skills gap employment crisis that currently challenges all manufacturers. GCAMP is a 501(c)(3) Public Charity, part of the Valley Industrial Association.
Manufacturing is very different today. GCAMP helps students of all ages discover rewarding, high-tech careers in the Greater Chicago Region.
GCAMP works with you to find and develop your advanced manufacturing workforce. Working in partnership with GCAMP, manufacturers will find the employees needed to grow their companies.
Check out this spotlight video of the recent Manufacturing Breakfast that was hosted in partnership with EGHS, D214, and the Village of Elk Grove.
