The annual Grow SW Indiana Teacher Manufacturing Bootcamp is an initiative created from I-69 Innovation Corridor's Brainpower committee geared toward educating high school teachers and counselors about the job opportunities available to their students in manufacturing. 听Promoted in several southwestern Indiana counties, Teacher Manufacturing Bootcamp provides an insightful two-week, paid experience to participants annually. 听This experience allows teachers and counselors to see first-hand the benefits of working in manufacturing and provides them with the information necessary to educate their students about this potential career path.

The participants learn about the benefits of the manufacturing workforce through intensive, hands-on activities and learning exercises. 听Bootcamp participants spend multiple days visiting sponsoring manufacturing companies such as Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana, Inc., Alcoa/Kaiser, Sabic and Berry Global. 听In addition, the participants tour Ivy Tech Community College and the 91社区 to best understand the educational resources available post high school.听

All participants receive a summer stipend and Professional Growth Points (PGPs) or Continuing Education Units (CEUs) towards their licensure renewal for completion of the bootcamp.
