Mission
THE CORPORATION'S GOAL IS TO PROMOTE MANUFACTURING, ESPECIALLY ADVANCED MANUFACTURING, AS AN EXCELLENT CAREER PATH TO STUDENTS, TEACHERS, PARENTS, COUNSELORS, AND OTHER "INFLUENCERS" THROUGH VARIOUS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES. THESE WILL INCLUDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR WEBSITE PAMPHLETS AND PROVIDING SPEAKERS TO VARIOUS SCHOOL AND LOCAL EVENTS. COORDINATING EFFORTS WITH AREA TECHNICAL SCHOOLS, COLLEGES, AND UNIVERSITIES WILL ALSO BE A SIGNIFICANT PRIORITY. PROMOTING SCHOOL AND FACTORY VISITS, HAND-ON EXPERIENCES, ATTENDANCE AT COLLEGES, CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE, AND OTHER EVENTS WILL ALSO BE PURSUED. THE GOAL IS TO REMOVE ANY PERCEIVED STIGMA THAT MAY EXIST THAT MAY CAUSE SOMEONE TO PAUSE OR NOT PURSUE A CAREER IN MANUFACTURING. THE JOBS TODAY ARE NOT WHAT THEY WERE. THEY ARE OFTEN "CLEAN", HIGH-TECH, HIGH SKILL, AND RELATIVELY HIGH PAYING JOBS THAT ARE NOW DIFFICULT FOR EMPLOYERS TO FILL OR KEEP FILLED (AS EMPLOYEES RETIRE, SKILL NEEDS CHANGE, OTHER OPPORTUNITIES.)
