We'd like to thank Brent Ford and El Cajon Valley's AME pathway students for putting together a great Manufacturing Expo video. This year's event was held in person and had over 500 attendees and over 40 manufacturers from and around East County. Students and their families had the opportunity to learn about career options within the manufacturing sector and opportunities locally to pursue these careers. Thank you to our San Diego East County Economic Council and the city of El Cajon and Santee for supporting this great event!
