On September 29th, we brought together JARC supporters, partners, graduates, staff, and friends at our Fall Social to celebrate the people who make our work possible.

From the trainees building new skills to the employers creating career opportunities, to the partners and supporters investing in the future of manufacturing, every person plays a part.

A special thank-you to our sponsors and donors for making such a big difference for JARC! 💙 Because of your generosity, we were able to raise $35K to support JARC’s free manufacturing training and the people we serve.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to believe in what’s possible when people have access to the training, support, and opportunities they need to build a career.

This Manufacturing Month, we’re celebrating the people behind the industry, and the community that helps them succeed. 🏭

💙 Some people leave a lasting impact from the very moment they walk through our doors. Lacie was one of those people.

From the first moment Lacie stepped into JARC, she inspired the people around her with her determination, spirit, and commitment to building a career in the skilled trades. As a JARC graduate, she became an important part of our community, and her story continues to inspire us today.

In Lacie’s memory, we established the Lacie Hexom Fund to help support the next generation of welders pursuing their careers through JARC.

The fund provides support for our welding trainees, helping them access career training and support services that can make a meaningful difference as they work toward their goals. Lacie believed in creating a future through skilled trades. Through this fund, her legacy continues to open doors for others who are taking that same first step. This Manufacturing Month, we’re honoring Lacie by continuing to invest in the people who are building their futures in manufacturing. 🥹💙

Want to help carry Lacie’s legacy forward?

🏭 JARC is coming to Philadelphia! 🎉We’re excited to officially announce that JARC Philly has found a home!

Our new Advanced Manufacturing Training Facility will be located in Kensington, bringing FREE, hands-on CNC machining and welding training to Philadelphians pursuing family-sustaining careers in advanced manufacturing.

This milestone has been two years in the making, with the Delaware Valley Industrial Resource Center @dvircpa and partners across Philadelphia’s manufacturing and workforce ecosystem helping us build a strong foundation for #JARCPhilly.

We’re also excited to co-locate with #ImpactServices, a longtime community organization with deep roots in Kensington. Together, we’ll work to create more accessible pathways from the community into skilled manufacturing careers.

As we celebrate Manufacturing Month, we’re reminded that a strong manufacturing industry starts with a strong workforce. JARC Philly will build on the incredible work already happening across the region while helping expand access to the training, credentials, and support people need to launch and advance their careers.

Philadelphia, we’re excited to call you home! 💙

And this is only the beginning. Stay tuned as we continue building JARC Philly and creating new pathways into manufacturing careers across the region.⚙️

POV: You’re thinking about a career in manufacturing… but you’re not sure what you’d actually learn. 👀

At JARC, trainees get hands-on experience with skills that can lead to careers in advanced manufacturing, including:

⚙️ CNC machining
🔥 Welding

And that’s just the beginning.

Our training is designed to give people the technical skills and support they need to take their next step toward a manufacturing career.

No manufacturing experience? That’s okay. Start here. 👇 Comment “MANUFACTURING” and we’ll send you the link to join one of our orientation sessions and learn more about JARC’s free training programs.

🏭 Happy Manufacturing Month! Throughout October, we’ll be celebrating the people, skills, partnerships, and opportunities that make manufacturing such an important part of our communities, and sharing the stories of the people building their futures in the industry.

So, what does it take to build a career in manufacturing?

Skills. Opportunity. Support. And a community that believes in you.

At JARC, trainees get more than hands-on training in CNC machining and welding. They also have access to the support they need to navigate their career journey, from employment coaching to resources that help remove barriers along the way.

🎥 To kick off Manufacturing Month, take a look inside #JARCBaltimore and hear directly from our trainees and grads who are building their futures in manufacturing.⚙️

Our Baltimore team recently visited @genshiprepair to tour their shipyard, fabrication shop, and machining operations and learn more about the skills and opportunities available in the industry.

We’re excited to explore potential career and apprenticeship pathways for our trainees, and even better, our trainees will have the opportunity to visit the shipyard for a future field trip!

Thank you to the General Ship Repair team for welcoming JARC and sharing your expertise with us. We look forward to staying connected! 🔧⚙️
