In this episode of Manufacturing an American Century, I sit down with Josh Cramer. At the time of our recording, Josh was serving as the Director of Education and Workforce Development at America Makes and has now gone on to another important position, now the Associate Vice President - Workforce Development at BlueForge Alliance. In the pod, we talk about the intersection of technology and workforce development in manufacturing. Josh and his team are tackling a big challenge—getting small-to-mid sized manufacturers (SMMs) to adopt technologies like 3D printing, which can transform not only products but entire manufacturing processes, businesses and communities. And we're not just talking about technical training here; America Makes knows that workforce development includes educating both students and incumbent workers, showing people how they can apply new tech in practical ways that deliver value and make products that solve problems.A big theme today of our discussion is the “national strategy with a local impact” model that America Makes follows. Josh explains how real change is happening at the regional level and why initiatives must respect and adapt to local needs. He also shares how 3D printing and additive manufacturing bring incredible entrepreneurial opportunities—not only for big businesses but for everyone, like the “Tech Moms” program that helps mothers in Utah return to the workforce with new skills.If you're curious about what it takes to drive national manufacturing growth at a local level, or how additive technology is making big waves in traditional industries, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.

A recent study published by Wallet Hub ranked Utah last in the nation when it comes to income equality for women, 48th in women's representation in executive leadership positions, and among the lowest when it comes to women's educational attainment. For example, women hold less than a third of tech positions, and of the 50 largest tech companies in the world, only 2 have female CEOs. Here to share her own experiences as a woman in the tech field is Trina Celeste. Trina is founder and CEO of RizeNext, a social good for-profit company focused on rising up the next level of diverse technologists and leaders.

We need to start speaking up and saying this isn't okay, and I think we're getting to a climate. You had the Me Too movement, but it didn't create awareness. It's real, but what do we do about it? Get educated on the various forms of sexism, what they are, be able to identify them, and have some ready statements of ... The easiest one is to say, "Can you explain that to me?" If you're feeling it and having an emotional reaction, most likely it was a biased statement. So, how do I respond to that? How do I take it and go? "I'm not trying to be difficult, but that's not okay."On overcoming self-limitations to forge a better world07:42: What's missing in the world is that we're holding ourselves back from creating the greatest changes that could come and solve some of the world's biggest problems.On women's growing role in the skilled workforce23:02: One of the things that's been coming up is that the enrollment of women in universities is higher than men. On average, nationally, only a few colleges don't have more female graduates than male. And the skilled workforce is shifting: women are entering into tech, and some of the work there isn't just tech moms. There's a lot of organizations helping create awareness here and shifting the narrative. Show Links:Trina Celeste - LinkedInTrina Celeste - InstagramTrina CelesteTech MomsRizeNext YouTubeTrina Celeste - TikTokRizeNextHow Women Rise: Break the 12 Habits Holding You Back from Your Next Raise, Promotion by Sally Helgesen and Marshall Goldsmith

Season 5 Episode 15: This episode features a conversation with Trina Limpert, co-founder of Tech-Moms, and Alecia Hart, strategic initiatives program director with the Utah Small Business Credit Initiative at the Economic Opportunity office. As part of the office's Inspire In Utah campaign, Tech-Moms recently received the designation as one of the 100 Utah Companies Championing Women. Listen as the duo discusses the company's efforts to champion women in the workforce. Since launching the first group of cohorts in September 2020, Tech-Moms has helped hundreds of women to recognize that you can have a rewarding career and still make it to your kids' soccer games. It has provided hope and inspiration to many women who couldn't see a path forward by giving women confidence in their abilities through education, professional development, and a supportive network. Limpert discusses what led her to start the nonprofit company, the distinction that tech jobs are mom jobs, and how COVID-19 redefined flexible work schedules. She talks about how the company offers graduates a job when they complete the program and how Tech-Moms views productivity for work-from-home moms. Limpert also explains the benefits the company realizes from student placement work, how there is a fit for anyone in technology regardless of their background or education level, and much more.
