MakerFest 2016 is a celebration of the amazing careers available at employers in the Greater Lima Region, and of the young, upcoming talent being groomed to fill those

careers. The focus on careers in advanced manufacturing and the skilled trades was expanded in 2016 to showcase the incredible healthcare and service industry companies

that call the Greater Lima Region home.

On Friday for the high school students and Saturday for the adult job seekers, MakerFest 2016 featured exhibits and demonstrations from more than 75 regionals employers.

The mission on Friday was to show our local talent what the Greater Lima Region has to offer, and convince them to seriously consider their home town for their careers. The

mission on Saturday was to connect local job seekers with immediate opportunities that exist at local employers. Both of these missions were achieved at MakerFest 2016.
