A state-of-the-art career center dubbed Hendricks CareerTek soon will be settling in the Ironworks campus, which developers promise will bring career development, education and opportunities to youth in the Greater Beloit Community.

Hendricks CareerTek will be funded by a grant from the Hendricks Family Foundation to the Stateline Boys & Girls Club, and construction is set to begin in January. The center will seek to partner with the School District of Beloit, the Stateline Boys & Girls Clubs, the Greater Beloit Chamber of Commerce, Irontek and area businesses in order to provide local youth with “the opportunities to gain valuable insights into workforce demands, career pathways, and requisite skill sets,” according to a press release from Hendricks CareerTek.
