Spotlight On Schools 11-30-24 - Manufacturing Day by JVC Broadcasting

PHARR, Texas - An expert in manufacturing told students from Pharr-San Juan-Alamo ISD and IDEA Public Schools about the benefits of working in the industry.Mike Willis, executive director of the South Texas Manufacturers Association, managed a maquiladora plant in Reynosa for 26. He was one of the keynote speakers speakers at Pharr Economic Development Corporation's 4th Annual Manufacturing Day in Pharr. The event was held at The Forum by Regency.“We have about 16,000 people working in manufacturing in the (Rio Grande) Valley at over 500 businesses. They range from size to one or two people doing custom word sign shops, print shops, boot shops, all the way up to Space X and Seatrium AmFELS with 3,000 to 4,000 employees each,” Willis said. “I like to say in the Valley, we make everything from tortilla chips to rocket ships.”The average wage for manufacturing workers in Hidalgo County, Willis said, is $1,040 a week. “That is about 26 bucks an hour. That's an average. A lot of the entry level jobs, or low skilled jobs, are below that. A lot of the higher skilled jobs are above that.”In United States there are 13 million people working in manufacturing, Willis reported. He said Texas has almost a million of those 13 million. “So, Texas is the manufacturing powerhouse in the United States.”As for the STMA, Willis said the trade association has around 100 manufacturing companies as members. “A lot of the maquilas (in Reynosa) also belong. And a lot of them have manufacturing plants on this side of the river. And if they don't have manufacturing plants, most of them have pretty good sized distribution centers where the finished product comes over here to be shipped.”The big trend in manufacturing is automation, Willis revealed. “We've always used technology and embraced constant improvement, continuous improvement, but it's really accelerated the last five to seven years. Now we're looking at things like robots, automated assembly machines that talk to each other, unmanned, guided vehicles. There's a lot of changes coming in the industry.”This trend is going to make manufacturing more competitive in the United States, Willis predicted.“If you can use more automation, and you have higher skilled workers that can operate that more technical machinery, repair and maintain all that machinery, there's not as much labor cost,” Willis explained.“So, the cost of labor in Mexico or China is less of a factor when companies decide where to put their plants. So, I like to say that we're what we need today in manufacturing is strong minds, not strong backs.”Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

PHARR, TEXAS David Ortiz, director of UT-Rio Grande Valley's Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center, has encouraged high school students to consider manufacturing as a career. Ortiz spoke to students from Pharr-San Juan-Alamo ISD and IDEA Public Schools at Pharr Economic Development Corporation's 4th Annual Manufacturing Day in Pharr. The event was held at The Forum by Regency. “There's a myth that manufacturing is boring, that it's very industrial, but it's actually exciting,” Ortiz told the students. “It is always exciting because there is always innovation. happening at a manufacturing site. There's always problem solving happening with great people and great teams. There's always technology developing.” Ortiz included a slide showing the development of manufacturing in the auto industry in the United States. He said when Ford Motors created the Model T, which effectively replaced the horse and cart, they were able to mass produce it and get one vehicle built every 47 hours. Today, he pointed out, the vehicles are largely assembled by robots. “I know it sounds a bit cheesy but (manufacturing) is an opportunity to change the world,” Ortiz said. By way of example, Ortiz pointed to SpaceX. His presentation included a slide showing SpaceX using its famous “chopsticks” to capture a rocket booster as it returned to earth. Ortiz said he has visited SpaceX's Starbase at Boca Chica. He said he was proud to see UTRGV alum working as engineers at the assembly plant. “For the first time in human history SpaceX was able to do that. How cool is that?” Ortiz asked. Ortiz added: “There's no limit in manufacturing. There are so many great companies, so many great people and opportunities.”Editor's Note: Go to the Rio Grande Guardian website to read the full story.Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

Let's face it: college isn't for everyone. Especially with the amount of student debt being carried by individuals long into their career; oftentimes, for degrees that don't even get used.We need to inform and inspire students towards careers they're passionate about and wired for, and help them find the right education option that will get them to that goal. Parents, educators, mentors in the workforce - we all have a role in making sure the next generation workforce has the right set of skills for their profession, especially in manufacturing.In this episode, we bring on Terry Iverson - Founder of CHAMPION Now and author of Inspiring Champions in Advanced Manufacturing: Discover the Path to a Debt-Free Career. Terry's books are all about highlighting the world of manufacturing and why it's a great career choice. And in this latest book, it's a unique message to parents and their teens.Listen in for a great conversation about mentorship, the right education for the right career, manufacturing, and the value of asking the right questions and having candid conversations with students.3 Big Takeaways from this episode:Students need an education that's aligned to their career goals: Let's flip the all-students-go-to-college mindset to one where students are provided all the options available to them post-secondary, and then they make an informed decision that aligns to their career goals. That means teaching them the ROI of an education, teaching them about college debt, and helping them discover what they're passionate about.Manufacturing (and similar industries) need to be options on the table: When students sit with their school counselor and when parents have conversations about the future with their kids and teens, they need to include options like manufacturing, the skilled trades, and other often-overlooked industries. There are tons of benefits to a manufacturing career, like good wages, overtime opportunity, upward mobility, employers will pay your way through school, and having a set work schedule. It's great for those hands-on individuals who would rather be on their feet, solving problems, building things, working with technology than sitting at a desk all day.Parents and their students need to have candid, informed conversations with each other: Whether it's a parent teaching their teen about the long-term effect of student debt or a kid telling their parent that they love their welding class and want to do it as a career, parents and their kids need to have more open conversations about career goals and all the options to get them there. That's why Terry wrote his latest book (link below) - so families can have these candid conversations.Resources Mentioned in this EpisodeVisit CHAMPION Now's website: https://championnow.org/Learn more about Terry's books:Inspiring Champions in Advanced Manufacturing: Discover the Path to a Debt-Free CareerFinding America's Greatest ChampionLearn more about Manufacturing Day (plus, find an event near you or host one yourself): https://www.mfgday.com/Connect with CHAMPION Now online:Instagram - Facebook - YouTube - TikTok - Twitter - LinkedIn

It's national Manufacturing Week and Friday is national Manufacturing Day. Manufacturing continues to be one of the top five employers in the country, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. But, like all industries, the skills that employers want are changing. In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, I'm joined by Andrew Stettner, a senior fellow at The Century Foundation, for a look at the unmet demand for skilled workers in the industry and his thoughts on what can be done to fill open jobs. One solution, he says, is taking a closer look at the current workforce and help them gain the new skills they need. "Many of the types of work we're talking about here—varying types of deeply skilled work that was being done by hand in the past—may be now automated in the future. Some of those underlying skills are very valuable, but people are going to have to have a new set of skills. Digital literacy is going to be important in nearly all jobs in our economy. And it's not ubiquitous among the current U.S population. Understanding the problem is the first step, and knowing that we have to get that training out in a much broader basis." "We've seen that major shifts in technology over the last several decades, under the broader rubric of automation, is not the thing that we have generally responded to as a society," Stettner says as he explains that businesses need to be more involved in meeting their own hiring needs. "We're moving in that direction, and you certainly have seen in more cases large employers also being engaged in this, engaging in training their incumbent workforce. We think a lot more needs to be done there. We really need companies to look at their own talent and say, 'Okay, this person knows the company. They know how to work here. They know us. Let's go ahead and give them those additional digital skills,' for example." Stettner points out that an increasing share of jobs in manufacturing require workers to use a touch screen and using computers to insure quality control of the parts moving through the line. And while you don't need a college degree, he adds that more and more of the jobs are requiring training beyond high school. "In terms of the breakdown, it used to be that 80% of people working in manufacturing, their greatest education was a high school degree. That is down to 40% of people in manufacturing. The others at least have some post-secondary credential. There are entry pathways for those workers that have a high school degree and then some short-term training or a post-secondary credential, so it still is that on-ramp type of sector that you can get at and there is some areas for mobility." Stettner says U.S. manufacturers are going to need an estimated two million workers over the next decade and an aging workforce is part of the problem, especially as Baby Boomers reach retirement age. "(Businesses) have to recruit a new generation of workers. If these talent issues aren't resolved, U.S. manufacturing is not going to be able to be competitive on a global basis, and it will shrink over time. America will always be the one (country) that's advanced technologies, whether it be at MIT or in private industry. The question is, will we have the people plus technology to actually produce the things?" Another solution to the staffing issue, says Stettner, is to intentionally recruit from historically underrepresented communities. In a report for The Century Foundation, he looks at the makeup of the manufacturing industry, writing that "manufacturing—which is currently 67% White non-Hispanic and 70% male—must recruit the next generation of workers from a rapidly diversifying workforce and bring these new workers into the sector at a time of rapid technological change." "There seems to be on its face, this huge win-win. You have communities of color in particular, in urban areas and also rural areas, looking for good jobs.

October 2 is National Manufacturing Day! Director of Existing Industry Services Meridith Berger catches up with Core Technology CEO Geoff Foster, who is in the running for Entrepreneur of the Year for the southeast United States. Thanks for joining us! This episode is sponsored by Truliant Federal Credit Union Visit Truliant here --------------------- Today's host is Meridith Berger, the Chamber's Director of Existing Industry Services for the Economic Development Department. --------------------- 00:58 - Meridith kicks off the episode with a welcome and recognizes Manufacturing Day and Manufacturing Week! Guilford County is home to the highest number of manufacturing jobs in North Carolina, a wide range of manufacturing degrees and training programs, and is in a prime location for transportation, logistics, and infrastructure.   1:44 - Meridith introduces guest to the podcast, Geoff Foster, CEO and President of Core Technology Moulding in Guilford County. Core Technology Moulding Inc. is a plastic injection moulding company that offers a diverse range of products from automotive parts, medical supplies, aerospace, outdoor equipment, and appliances.   3:30 - Meridith asks Geoff what drove him to become an entrepreneur, and Geoff shares a story where he designed a part for Ford Motor Company, and this experience really sparked his passion to start his own company to create products and share the benefit of new creation with his employees.   4:51 - Meridith asks how COVID impacted Core Technology's production and hiring processes. Geoff explains that while Core Technology had to retool their approach, they shifted into creating a new mold for faceshields, leading to an increased need for employees for production and assembly.    6:23 - Geoff shares about being recognized as a finalist in the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, a prestigious and exciting award to be chosen for!   7:12 - Meridith asks for more information on the diversity and range of the products that Core Technology offers. Geoff explains that their product portfolio is incredibly diverse and their parts appear in a huge number of products that are used every day, around the US. This has allowed for a strong business foundation to grow, and puts Core Tech in a position where they can strategically pursue production in certain fields, like medical supply.   8:45 - Meridith asks Geoff if he sees growth in a certain industry in the near future, to which he says that growth is seen more in additive manufacturing rather than a targeted industry. This means that “printing” parts with 3D printers is becoming the new norm and has helped Core Tech prototype and go-to-market faster!   10:37 - Workforce and culture is important to Core Technology, and Meridith asks how this helps Geoff develop the talent pool at Core Tech. Geoff found a strategic partner in NC A&T, brining in highly talented and educated students who are eager to learn. He also explains that a diverse workforce with different perspectives brings about better solutions and increased value.   12:09 - Geoff reiterates that the location of his company in Greensboro and Guilford County has been a critical part of Core Technology's success. The location, partnerships, logistics and transportation access, and incredible talent pool available have all contributed to Core Tech's success.   12:57 - Meridith asks more about Core Tech's medical clean rooms. Geoff talks about the two different clean rooms established so Core Tech can create needed medical supplies, but also assemble critical vaccine materials.   14:16 - Find out more about Core Technology at their website: www.coretechnologycorp.com  And also find them on their social channels: Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook! --------------------- Manufacturing Day is October 2!

Manufacturing Day occurs every year on the first Friday in October, and Massachusetts took the step of expanding Manufacturing Day to be Manufacturing Month for the entire month of October. In this podcast we explore this concept from a national perspective with NIST, MEP National Network (#MEPNationalNetwork), a statewide view through MassMEP, and a close up look with a manufacturing company that is a manufacturing month evangelist, Northeaston Machine. Listen as we sit down with Paula Martel, Human Resource Manager with North Easton Machine and Nicole Ausherman, Digital Information Specialist with NIST to talk about MFG Day and Manufacturing Month in Massachusetts.

We pre-recorded today's conversation via Zoom with Sally Michaels from Frederick County EDA to talk about National Manufacturing Day happening on Friday, October 2, 2020. Sally was in the middle of her vacation and literally pulled off the side of the road near Atlanta, GA to record our show today and talk about the EDA's plans for celebrating the day which they've extended through the month of October. Sally gave us some stats about the number of manufacturing jobs in Virginia & across the US and the ancillary positions they create along with the economic impact of those jobs. She shared some factoids and interesting stats about five things that were invented by women and why manufacturing came to be an important piece for low to middle income families to afford items that were previously financially unattainable. National Manufacturing Day will be virtual this year. You can see the videos of local manufacturing companies and access the information that Sally mentioned during the show on their website: https://www.explorefrederickcareers.com/ and by following them on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FrederickCountyEDA You can reach Sally via email to: smichaels@YesFrederickVA.com to inquire about supporting their educational programs.

For this year's MFG Day, Manufacturing Talk Radio attended NJMEP's MFG Day event at The Palace in Somerset, New Jersey. We had the opportunity to meet with Manufacturers from all over New Jersey, conduct interviews and listen to manufacturers discuss real-world issues they face today.

Governor Kim Guadagno of New Jersey  John Kennedy, CEO of NJMEP, NJMEP's Manufacturer of the Year Bob Krill of Cape May Brewery, Mary Ann Pacelli and Beth Colbert from NIST, Peter Okun, Director of Marketing for NJMEP plus engineering students from NJIT and more. 

Maker conversations from the White House and LA! Celebrity makers and chefs like Martha Stewart and Mario Batali are crazy about Hedley & Bennett aprons. We learn how Ellen Bennett is building a company that brings in millions in revenues and cultivates a passionate following for something that's so mundane on this Season Finale episode. They are at a watershed moment, bursting at the seams and grappling with how to grow. But it all started very modestly, when she ran off to culinary school at age 18, hoping to launch a taco empire in LA. We hear her amazing story of hustle and determination as she went from booth babe and lottery announcer in Mexico City to line cook in LA to successful entrepreneur. The leadership insights, operations tips, and lessons in courage are informative and inspiring. And, we learn why her factory has a zip line and two tree houses! This episode also features two bonus conversations about making and manufacturing from the White House: we kick things off with U.S. CTO Megan Smith and colleague Megan Brewster talking about Manufacturing Day on October 7, 2016. We also ran into Adam Savage, the host of tested.com and Mythbusters, on the South Lawn at SXSL.  The views expressed on The Art of Manufacturing podcast are those of the guests, and not our sponsors or partners. For show notes about this episode, visit: http://makeitinla.org/ellenbennett and http://makeitinla.org/whitehouse
