Student Achievement in the metalworking industry
His name is Travis Knaub, he is a toolmaker. Travis is a prime example of what hard work and education can get a young person in the metalworking industry. He began his career at New Standard Corporation in York, PA as a co-op student while still in high school. He entered the 9000 hour Tool & Die apprenticeship in May of 2001 and completed his study in 2004. Travis's knowledge of the metalforming industry grew with his participation in the Related Theories classes of the National Tooling & Machining Association, Pennsylvania Dutch Chapter. His excellance was rewarded by being named the Outstanding Apprentice for the chapter in 2004. With his education and experience, Travis is responsible for keeping all the dies in all departments in good functional condition during the weekend shift. Travis continues to educate himself and is working to become a Toolmaker "A". Well done, Travis!
Campaign for Manufacturing Career Awareness
In order to make manufacturing a preferred career choice by 2010, the Center for Workforce Success is reaching out to young adults, their parents, educators, their communities, and their policy-makers to change their minds about manufacturing's future and its careers. The campaign will form strong and committed coalitions from local civic, political, education and business entities, launch a focused advertising campaign, create a world-class Web site on the array of highly paid manufacturing jobs, and form local partnerships with community colleges, technical schools and local universities to respond to the interest in studying for a career in manufacturing. The advertising campaign will launch in Kansas City, MO in February 2005 and continue in Michigan and Texas. For more information visit NAM's Web site at Dream It. Do It.
