ALCOA has joined several major manufacturers and the
Manufacturing Institute, a non-profit branch of the National Association of
Manufacturers, to bring thousands of veterans into manufacturing careers.
According to an article in the Nov. 19, 2012 issue
of the Air Force Times, “GE, ALCOA Inc., Boeing, and Lockheed/Martin have
pooled resources to help 15,000 veterans transition to manufacturing careers,
and the group hopes to bring that number up to 100,00 if more companies join
the effort.”
The article goes on to read, “Kris Urbauer, GE’s
program manager of veteran initiatives, said ‘separating veterans looking for
work are returning to a job market with a desperate need for manufacturing
workers, and the timing is perfect to marry those two together. The opportunity
to grow manufacturing in the U.S., with this great talent pool kind of leading
the charge is, I think, the perfect confluence.’”
Mike Haynie, executive director and founder of the
Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University, added,
“Some 600,000 manufacturing jobs in the U.S. are unfilled, and the average
employee in the manufacturing industry is in his or her 50’s. The
industry will need 10 million or more new skilled workers by 2020.”
Manufacturing Training sites are scheduled to open
in Durham and Raleigh in 2013. Those interested should go to www.getskillstowork.org
for detail information.
This has not gone unnoticed by our Badin Generating
Facility in Badin, N.C. They recently donated $1,000 to Pfeiffer
University’s North Carolina AMVETS Career Center, a non-profit veterans service
organization providing volunteer general counseling and education, career and job
assistance to those who are or have honorably served in our U.S. military.
North Carolina’s AMVETS Career Center 1 is
located in the Stokes Student Center on main campus of Pfeiffer University in
Misenheimer, N.C. Volunteers can be contacted by calling 704-463-3026 or emailing
AMVET@fsmail.pfeiffer.edu.
A check was presented to Gerry Pion, the Career
Center’s Deputy Commander, by ALCOA’s Hydro Operations Manager Mark Gross during a special ceremony at the company’s Badin office.
Nicole Wright, the company’s Foundation Coordinator, summed up the proceedings by saying, “We all owe a tremendous gratitude to the veterans who served America, and ALCOA is proud to help support veterans in our community and across North Carolina. Our contribution to the AMVETS Career Center in Stanly County will help establish scholarships for the sons and daughters of military veterans and support the center's work with veterans seeking to join the local workforce."

Veterans also understand the importance of establishing and maintaining manufacturing jobs in our company because they have a greater comprehension of international relations.
ReplyDeleteI live in Michigan, and my job is not directly impacted by the decline in automobile manufacturing. Although I am sure id does affect me indirectly. Even though I have an advanced degree and a non-manufacturing career, I do hate to see so many losing their jobs and homes.
