Manufacturing Bootcamp/Manufacturing Workshop Week

Our 2024 Manufacturing Bootcamp week was in early June,  and it was quite a week!  Our student participants had a very busy week, as you can see from the itinerary and photos.

We are now gearing up for the 2025 program with a name change:  "Manufacturing Workshop Week - Forge Your Future" - same program, just a different name! For more info about the program, click here to download the 2024 informational brochure; updated promo info will be uploaded very soon.  Check out our Workforce Training page of this website for more details about this innovative program.


Industry Appreciation Awards Program

Each year, we celebrate the success of local businesses at our annual Industry Appreciation Awards event at the Indian River State College Richardson Center. 

We recognize local businesses in a variety of categories: for their architectural achievements, success within their industries, and/or community involvement.   The Awards event was held in  October, with 13 local firms honored.  Please visit our "Business Resources" overview page on this website for details; the 2025 nomination forms will be uploaded in January.  Meanwhile, take a look through our 2024 Nomination Packet for more info about the program.

The Florida Scorecard
The Florida Chamber Foundation has created "The Florida Scorecard", an online tool that identifies and tracks key metrics that are important to Florida’s economy today and into the future. The Florida Scorecard gives stakeholders the power to measure progress on a statewide level and within their own communities.  We invite you to view our Indian River County Scorecard. The data is updated regularly (shown is Nov. 2024 data).

 

If you are looking for personal assistance and site information for your business, call or email Helene Caseltine, the Chamber's Vice President of Economic Development: 772-567-3491 or helenec@indianrivered.com

Our community is prepared to make your business expansion or relocation plans easy and rewarding. We look forward to meeting you!
