SUMMARY:Creating an Equitable & Future-Focused Manufacturing Workforce with Apprenticeship
DESCRIPTION:Right now\, American manufacturers are finding that they need to make near-term changes to their hiring and training practices in response to developments like these: \n\nCOVID-19 has accelerated the automation revolution and placed a renewed emphasis on safety and efficiency\, requiring manufacturers to hire workers who are skilled in new technologies and methods\, and to train those who aren’t.\nCompanies are awakening to the value and importance of offering equitable career opportunities\, causing a shift in policies and procedures in order to widen the talent pool and provide equitable access to opportunities for career advancement throughout the workforce.\nPresident Joe Biden has unveiled an economic recovery plan to Build Back Better that includes a concerted effort to drive demand for goods made by American manufacturers\, creating a need for a larger and better trained manufacturing workforce.\n\nApprenticeship has proved to be an effective means of training and upskilling new hires and incumbent workers in a wide variety of manufacturing occupations\, such as machinist\, CNC machine operator\, manufacturing engineering technician\, and many other high-demand roles. \nJoin JFF’s Center for Apprenticeship & Work-Based Learning with the AFL-CIO Working for America Institute to discover how apprenticeship can help your business become a more competitive player and an employer of choice for a diverse pool of talented workers from a wide range of backgrounds. \nDon’t miss this free event! The day’s activities will include a regional networking opportunity and offer practical advice and insights for HR professionals\, leaders of manufacturing companies\, and anyone else who’s interested in learning how apprenticeship can build a diverse and dynamic talent pipeline filled with workers who are well prepared for the manufacturing jobs of today and tomorrow. \n  \nREGISTER HERE>>\n  \n

SUMMARY:The Path Forward: A Proactive Approach To Business Continuity Planning
DESCRIPTION:If the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed one thing to manufacturers\, it’s how unprepared most of us were for such an event. Companies producing everything from PPE and ventilators to anti-bacterial wipes and toilet paper were forced to react with little to no warning. The best lesson we can all take away from this is that\, going forward\, we should all take a much more proactive and strategic approach to running our businesses. \nREGISTER HERE>> \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Food for Thought #7: 3D Printing of Ceramics with Lithoz America
DESCRIPTION:The Manufacturing Incubator at Tech Valley Center of Gravity presents Food for Thought: A Business & Product Development Virtual Luncheon Series. \nCeramic additive manufacturing (3D printing) opens doors to product development and small series manufacturing\, combined with functional complexity that was traditionally cost prohibitive for many applications. This talk will share the current state of the art of ceramic 3D printing and the types of applications where this large family of materials is finding use. \nCeramic materials play key roles in cars\, smartphones\, aircraft\, surgical tools\, dentistry\, and many other products\, but they are lesser known than plastics and metals because they are challenging to produce. Additive manufacturing simplifies ceramic development and production\, by eliminating tooling and machining\, and enabling shapes that were never before possible in these special materials. \nLithoz is the market leader in 3D printers and materials for advanced ceramic\, for use in aerospace\, medical\, dental\, energy\, and industrial applications. Lithoz America\, located in the Rensselaer Tech Park\, is the US branch of Lithoz GmbH from Vienna Austria.
