Made in Robeson Day returns to RCC, with a twist

In honor and celebration of National Manufacturing Day, Robeson Community College will host its annual Made in Robeson Day, with a twist.

“This year Made in Robeson Day will be held during our First Homecoming Celebration,” stated Patrick Jacques, the director of industrial programs at RCC. “So, with our theme being Home. Sweet. Home. we are calling it ‘Homemade in Robeson’ this year.”

The event will take place on Friday, October 7 from 9:30am – 12pm and will feature a job fair from 12pm – 2pm.

“It is a great opportunity to showcase RCC’s Industrial programs, and also highlight the great companies and manufacturers that call Robeson County home,” Jacques said. “There are so many amazing products made and manufactured right here in our backyard and we want to continue to shine the light on these companies and all that Southeastern North Carolina has to offer.”

Students from area high schools, and RCC, are expected to be in attendance. The event is open to the public, admission is free.
