SME SPEAKS
I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts and most certainly look forward to working with you to move manufacturing forward.
Nominate a High School with an Exemplary Manufacturing Program
T
he SME Education Foundation is committed to addressing the shortage of manufacturing and technical talent in the US. The Foundation’s Partnership Response In Manufacturing Education (PRIME) program actively engages and builds a col- laborative network between manufacturing students, educators and industry to grow and train the next-generation workforce, while driving interest and awareness in advanced manufactur- ing. Programs selected for the PRIME designation will receive funding to provide postsecondary scholarships, equipment upgrades, continuing education for instructors and a STEM- based/manufacturing camp for middle school students. PRIME site applications will be accepted through March 1, 2015. Nominations must come from local SME chapters or companies involved with a high school offering exemplary manufacturing education. For more information, nomination guidelines and application, visit
www.smeef.org/prime.
New White Paper Available from Tooling U-SME
E
ven if two manufacturers have the same equipment, processes and materials, that does not mean they have the same success. World-class companies have a secret
weapon: their people. These successful companies recog- nize the importance of recruiting the right people for the right job and providing the right training. They know a well-trained workforce drives innovation, customer satisfaction, quality, productivity and growth. Learn how investing in this pre- cious resource—human capital—can build a competitive advantage. Download Tooling U-SME’s complimentary white paper, “People Power: Human Capital Drives Manufacturing Competitiveness.” Highlights include: • Research demonstrating the importance of human capital for meeting business objectives;
• Industry best practices in training and development; and
• Case studies from world-class companies. Download your complimentary copy at

What Does Manufacturing Mean to You?
S
ME is trying to address the misconceptions about manufacturing. We want to
highlight the positive stories to negate the false and negative stereotypes. Through SME’s #MFGis campaign, we want to define what manufacturing is, one word at a time—and then tell the stories that highlight the progress, what is driving the industry and how these (and the people) will shape the fu- ture. Help SME dispel the myths surrounding manufacturing by submitting your story at
www.sme.org/mfgis.
