The Direct to Work: Pathways to Manufacturing program is an “inclusive career initiative” that helps unemployed and underemployed people get involved in training programs and other resources, leading to entry-level jobs with Tompkins County manufacturers, per the IAED website.

Pathways to Manufacturing is a designated community-based, pre-apprenticeship program through TC3, which is part of the SUNY system, IAED said.
