Clinton isn’t just a city with a proud manufacturing legacy—it’s a community actively investing in its future workforce. In an inspiring new video, Grow Clinton showcases how local educators, students, and businesses are coming together to prepare young people for high-demand careers in modern manufacturing.
What You’ll See in the Video:
• Exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from leading local manufacturers
• Insightful interviews with industry leaders and passionate employees
• Candid conversations with 7th and 8th grade students from Clinton Middle School about what they believe is made in the Clinton Region
With over 40 manufacturers operating in the Clinton Region and actively seeking motivated professionals, career opportunities are both real and growing. This initiative connects local youth with meaningful pathways in manufacturing, highlighting the excitement of problem-solving, teamwork, and the satisfaction of creating something tangible and valuable.
“There has never been a better time to leverage social media platforms as a method of educating young individuals about the variety of careers available in their own backyard,” said Andy Sokolovich, President & CEO of Grow Clinton.
“Of course, we want to see our students succeed after high school. But more importantly, we want them to make an impact in the communities they call home. Clinton, Iowa is a fantastic place to live, work, and grow.”
