"Your Career CAN Make a Difference" Video Hits Home at NPE
Our "MoldMaking Matters: Your Career Can Make a Difference" video project with Creative Technology, NyproMold, AMBA, SPI and SPE's Mold Making and Mold Design Division, makes its debut at NPE2015. Attendees and exhibitors grab DVDs and manuals to share with their local communities as a recruitment tool for attracting the next generation of workers.
To help our industry with its No. 1 problem of recruiting the next generation of workers, this recruitment video features a team of young manufacturing professionals at NyproMold explaining what it takes to make a life-saving medical device by taking viewers through the various steps of the process, explaining their jobs, sharing how they feel about their current careers, and helping to dispel the many myths of manufacturing along the way.
The video was running on screens at the MoldMaking Technology and Plastics Technology booths in the West and South Halls. DVDs and copies of the discussion guide were also distributed. I'm almost certain our show supply was depleted!
Rich Stueber of NyproMold also spoke during the event on the company's strategies for recruiting and retaining its young professional team. You can read about this plan in my March issue feature, "The Three T's of Growing Your Own".
