The businesses met and many offered a site tour. <br /> In an effort to recruit, attract and educate our local high school students and their parents about the <br /> manufacturing industry, the city partnered with the chamber and school district on a Student to Career <br /> Manufacturing video which will be aired during this presentation. <br /> The three partners worked with the Industrial Technology teacher at Elk River High School and the <br /> students to produce this video currently aired on the city website. The video was also aired on the <br /> chamber and school district websites in October. The school district utilizes this video during student <br /> advisory periods. <br /> The video highlights career advancement opportunities offered by three of Elk River's local <br /> manufacturers. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> N/A <br /> Attachments <br /> N/A <br /> POWERED 6T <br /> A IR <br />
