• Nearly 400 students from St. John the Baptist Parish explored hands-on demonstrations, technology and training programs at River Parishes Community College’s Reserve Campus.
• Marathon employees joined industry partners and educators to help connect classroom learning to real workforce opportunities in the River Parishes. 

In recognition of National Manufacturing Day in October, Marathon Petroleum’s Garyville refinery helped bring hands-on career exploration to hundreds of middle school students in St. John the Baptist Parish. Hosted by River Parishes Community College (RPCC) at its Reserve Campus, the event introduced students to high-demand careers in manufacturing and skilled trades and highlighted how these industries are shaping the region’s future.

Nearly 400 eighth-grade students from St. John the Baptist Parish attended the event, gaining direct access to interactive demonstrations, industry exhibits and conversations with RPCC instructors who teach programs aligned with leading manufacturing and industrial employers in the River Parishes. Students explored equipment, technology and training pathways that connect what they learn in the classroom to real opportunities in their community.

“Introducing young people to real careers in manufacturing supports our local workforce, strengthens our communities and helps ensure the River Parishes continue to grow.”

“Manufacturing Day gives students the chance to connect what they learn in school with the real careers available right here at home,” said RPCC Chancellor Quintin D. Taylor. “When they can see the equipment, talk to instructors and try things for themselves, it opens their eyes to possibilities they may not have considered. That spark is what helps build the next generation of talent for our region.”

Along with Marathon’s support, employees from the Garyville refinery volunteered their time throughout the event. They joined college instructors and other industry partners in offering demonstrations, simulations and informational sessions that showcased a variety of RPCC educational and training programs, including Early College Option, Drafting and Millwright.

“Events like these help students see what is possible for their future, and we are proud to play a part in that,” said Jay Richert, Vice President of Refining at the Garyville refinery. “Introducing young people to real careers in manufacturing supports our local workforce, strengthens our communities and helps ensure the River Parishes continue to grow.”
