One of the focus groups’ participants is now seeking employment after five months in a welding program. He has found that although there are job openings, he has not been hired due to lack of welding work experience. Before students complete training, they need to understand how to get and work experience and that having work experience often has a positive impact with getting job offers.

The website needs to make opportunities and how to attain manufacturing goals transparent.

mailto:[email protected]




















Page 26

The website is to appeal to a broad audience. However, messaging and content could be posted as needed to connect with audience segments including underprivileged, minorities, girls and women.

When getting into the evaluation phase, audience segments may be analyzed to determine effectiveness of marking to women, who may have very different interests and goals than youth.

Manufacturers employ many positions ranging from accounting to information technology.

The region has some videos. They will need to do a video inventory, see what there is and identify gaps to create new videos that are needed.

Show the number of jobs available in manufacturing fields; use a counter or ticker with actual job numbers.

Job seeker wants to know what’s open, not the history of the company

Personalization of information ideas include: store and return to search history, job posting tracking and commenting.

Need to determine URL. The region owns a domain name www.makeitillinois.org

It was suggested that the ISBE website has a good job posting page

The Discover Manufacturing Career Expo is being held this

September. This is the logo for the event. It should not be used

for the website but it should be featured.
