What is the Burley Trades Exploration Youth Academy?
To keep manufacturing in America vital, the industry needs a workforce that is increasing in numbers and prepared to keep pace with advances in technology. This summer camp is designed for students, 12-17 years old, to support individuals in discovering their interest in manufacturing and to encourage the pursuit of a manufacturing career. We will reach students at a young enough age when their career choice can be positively influenced, and their education can include the foundational training necessary to excel.
What Will Your Student Experience
Your student will experience modern manufacturing by creating and building products. Campers will experience a safe, hands-on learning environment creating products, operating machinery under close supervision, and discovering their future career in manufacturing.
Our Academy Mission
The mission of CSI Workforce Development and Training is to serve to engage, nurture, and excite individuals of all ages in the pursuit of careers in manufacturing. We strive to empower students to be successful citizens, workers, and leaders in a global economy.Scholarships Available!
