Metalcasting Industry Roadmap
students in grades 7-12, when some students begin thinking of future career paths, and provide a compelling argument in favor of a career in the casting industry. Exposure to the digital design and its integration into the metalcasting process can help reinforce the LGHD WKDW PHWDOFDVWLQJ LV D KLJK WHFK DQG ³cool´ industry to want to work in during their career.
Key Tasks
x Develop a coordinated industry effort to expose middle and high school students to the metal casting industry
x Ensure developed programs include Target Outcomes
x Increased awareness among young students about the availability of career paths in the foundry industry
x Improved industry perception by the next generation of workers x Increased numbers of young workers seeking employment in the foundry industry as a career path
c. Industry External Perception and Self-Perception ± Some workshop attendees felt that the external perception as well as their own self-perception of the foundry industry as a dirty, duVW\ DQG ³ROG-VFKRRO´ industry was resulting in potential employees looking for work in other industries. Changing the external perception of this industry (i.e. defining WKH LQGXVWU\ DV D ³green´ industry because of the recycling aspect of the industry or defining it as high-tech because of
the use of computer design and solidification
software) may help persuade new types and sources of employees to pursue careers in metalcasting.
Key Tasks
x Change the perception of the industry from DQ ³old-school´ industry to a high- tech and green industry, vibrant with advanced manufacturing capabilities
Target Outcomes
x Improved levels of industry perception among potential industry workers, leading to more workers desiring employment within the foundry industry
the translation from digital design
(computers) to castings (manufactured product) to help promote the industry as a desirable industry in which to work
