  • The South Central Idaho Region
    Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership South-Central Idaho Manufacturing Community The Community In South-central Idaho, the food production, processing, and science industrial sector contains a significant mix of key technologies and supply chain elements, making it a regional manufacturing focus. The Magic Valley of South-central Idaho stands as one of the most diverse food baskets in the nation. A powerhouse of agricultural production and processing, the region is home to a diverse cluster of big name, globally recognized processors and home-grown food production facilities. The Vision Partnerships between industry and colleges/universities are firmly in place to improve the region’s workforce, supply chains, applied research, and other elements of the region’s ecosystem. The economic development partnership, led by Region IV Development Association, plans to create and implement a comprehensive strategy to leverage these resources to drive the social, environmental and economic sustainability of the region’s food production, processing, and science cluster. The Strategy Workforce and Training: With a relatively low unemployment rate, the region’s food processing industry is facing a tight labor market, especially for skilled labor. Firms in this industry cluster are developing plans to convince potential workers that the food processing facilities today are no longer dark and nasty as in the past, but bristle with high-tech instruments and automated controls. To boost awareness of the variety of employment positions, the levels of education and training required and the potential career paths, the region’s industry partners anticipate using a myriad of tools – including mobile job fairs, internships and apprenticeships, industry certification programs, student research and senior projects, as well as outreach to school counselors and student organization advisors, to work with students at the middle school to high school level.
