Make It In Illinois

Make It In Illinois is all about helping people find good-paying, hands-on jobs in modern manufacturing. These aren’t the old factory jobs you might picture — today’s manufacturing is high-tech, safe, and full of opportunities.

All across Illinois, there are programs and apprenticeships that can train you for careers like welding, machine maintenance, automation, and production. These jobs pay well, often anywhere from $45,000 to $100,000 a year, and there are tens of thousands of openings expected every year. That means steady work and a solid future for those who get started now.

The program also makes sure everyone has a fair chance to succeed by opening doors for people who may not have had easy access to training before.
