Manufacturing accounts for about 160,000 jobs in Connecticut, just over a third of which are in the advanced fields of shipbuilding, aerospace, and medical devices. While those jobs make up just 3.1 percent of the state labor force, they have an outsized impact on the economy. Manufacturing is also a pathway to the middle class that does not require a four-year college degree. Connecticut manufacturer Electric Boat is looking to increase hiring to meet a demanding shipbuilding pace. Engineering Primer Program (EPP) seeks to address the goal of providing training for high-quality jobs in underserved and vulnerable communities, supporting regional economies, and closing the access gap in manufacturing and technology. The program achieves these goals by delivering a dynamic set of skills and abilities to high school students so that they have the necessary tools to secure careers in the future. To support this work, the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving has awarded a $350k grant to MakerspaceCT to support its EPP initiative.

WE NEED EVERYONE The US has finally begun to acknowledge the massive deficit we have when it comes to skilled labor. With that, there have been many calls to boost trade school attendance, which I completely agree with. This is a great pathway to well-paying jobs and minimal debt. One thing that bothers me, however, is that the trades and college are often positioned as if they are opponents. This couldn’t be further from the truth. We need everyone! Our business at HFW Industries, Inc. is great, and a large part of that is because of the varied backgrounds our team has. Some have gone to college, some have gone to trade school, and some are even self-taught. I learn from all of them. The blue-collar world needs new blood, no matter the source. Just as we need many new machinists (who generally come from a trade school), there is also a massive need for manufacturing engineers (who generally went to college). Sure, we need more people going into the trades, but we need more people interested in the industrial world period. I am committed to helping drive this cause.

One very special application came in December 1946. Walter Schneeberger received a card from a resident of Roggwil, asking to be taken on as an apprentice iron-turner. The applicant promised to attend trade school in Langenthal and "still learn as well as he used to." This was quite remarkable because the applicant was already over 65 years old.

Here's a great article showcasing how Iowa State engineering students create impact - both in their education and career preparation, and in helping Iowa companies addresses their most pressing challenges.

🏚 More than 2000 visited our open house at Jönköping University, and School of Engineering, Jönköping University on Sat. March 16th. The day is aimed at students who are about to choose an educational path and younger teenagers who got inspiration for future study choices. In our booth, we had an exhibition on the excellence of #component #casting and a demonstration of spectacular #material #properties. 👩🎓 This was followed up by today's "#VeraDay", when about 50 fifth-grade students visited us to be inspired by various engineering disciplines with hands-on activities. We were of course on-site with some experiments that illustrated surprising physical/mechanical properties of materials - an inspiration for the younger generation, especially girls to join this fascinating field of study 🌟 . ⁉ Did you know the materials & manufacturing industry is in urgent need of talent? Have you heard about recent developments in the field of #metal #casting? If you are looking for a growing #job #market and a bright #career future, our master programme is the enabler for that 😊 Apply now (link in comments) Questions and other support: Nils-Eric Andersson #masterprogram #womeninengineering #girlsinstem #Componentcasting #metalcasting #brightfuture #careerdevelopment

Our second talk in the "Wonderful World of Mechanics" lecture series is coming up on November 8. David Brookstein will give a talk "A 50 Year Journey as an Engineer That Followed a Common Thread," which will cover many different aspects of his career around the themes of textile engineering and being a lifelong learner. You can read more about the talk in the attached flyer and about the lecture series in our past post: https://lnkd.in/ey6CC2uG
