Material for Promoting the Workforce of Tomorrow
Agie Charmilles provides tools to help recruit the skilled workforce of tomorrow
By: Harry C. Moser
Toolmakers and precision machinists know that it is a lot easier to get the job done if you have the right tool and even easier if you can use a standard tool instead of making a customized tool. These same principles hold true in promoting the workforce of tomorrow. A great variety of standardized manufacturing career promotional material exists, but, until now, has never been cataloged and made readily available to the U.S. manufacturers, high school instructors, guidance counselors and community colleges that could most effectively use the material in their recruiting efforts. As a result, the material is rarely utilized. Five or ten times a year I train machining instructors on how to recruit new students. I am always surprised at how few of the instructors are aware of the wealth of material available to them.
This article is a first step in making these materials readily available.
Promotional materials are available in a great variety of formats ranging from traditional paper handouts and CD's to e-mail newsletters, t-shirts and access for high school and community college students to manufacturing trade shows.
