FAME strives to be a powerful conduit between industry & education. Three common problems, have one common solution:
1. To remain globally competitive, manufacturers must find enough global best, highly-skilled workers.
2. Technically minded individuals desire a well-paying, challenging and rewarding career that they can start TODAY.
3. Communities need a robust, thriving and growing business base with strong employment opportunities to ensure the well-being of their people. The solution is FAME (the Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education) and The Advanced Manufacturing Career Pathways, which will:
1. Provide a continuous stream of new-to-field skilled workers in sufficient numbers to keep job openings filled with graduates who have the world’s best technical preparation.
2. Provide high paying jobs doing critical work to individuals who complete the AMT Program. Provide an on-going growth path beyond that which both fulfills an individual’s desire to grow and develop; and fulfills a company’s need for employees who continuously learn more and more about their jobs and contributing to the company’s business performance.
3. Answer the most critical question that employers ask when considering placing a new business in a location, or expanding an existing one: “Can I find the skilled talent that I need to support my operations?” The inability to provide a good answer to this question is the No. 1 reason why employers do NOT bring new business to a location. The AMT Program and the continued strength brought by the other career pathways fully answers this question with a resounding, “Yes!!”
