Pride in Producing Again: Constructing the Connecticut Manufacturing Comeback
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grant Gives Goodwin The Green Light<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an effort to reduce Connecticut\u2019s manufacturing workforce discrepancy through education, on August 3, 2020, Goodwin University was awarded a subcontract from Hartford\u2019s Capital Workforce Partners through a grant from the Department of Labor\u2019s Apprenticeship Connecticut Initiative (ACI). The funds will support a much-needed manufacturing training program, pivotal to increasing industrial job placements across the state.<\/p>\n

With workforce development a central focus of Governor Ned Lamont\u2019s administration, local organizations like Capital Workforce Partners encourage future generations of Connecticut skilled workers by helping them prepare for employment in manufacturing professions.<\/p>\n

To strengthen Connecticut\u2019s manufacturing future, the grant will give students a roadmap to automation careers through alluring academic programs. Goodwin\u2019s grant award of $202,500 will provide tuition and support services for 30 students in its\u00a0Early College Advanced Manufacturing Pathway<\/a> (ECAMP\u2122). This program gives middle and high schools, like\u00a0Connecticut River Academy<\/a>, access to manufacturing equipment, professionals, programs, and top-notch training.<\/p>\n

Utilizing Goodwin\u2019s 60,000-square-foot Business and Advanced Manufacturing Center and\u00a0Advanced Manufacturing Mobile Lab<\/a>, the grant funds will also provide training and support to 15 adult students of the University\u2019s\u00a0Mechatronics and Industrial Automation<\/a>\u00a0program for the upcoming school year.<\/p>\n

The grant awarded to Goodwin is one step in many production pipelines to revitalize Connecticut\u2019s manufacturing industry. The monies will aid and educate workers of various ages seeking career success.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis grant provides a fantastic opportunity for local high school students to earn certification in Advanced Manufacturing and to prepare for rewarding careers,\u201d Matthew Dodona, Early College Advanced Manufacturing Director, stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mechatronics and automation fields are important to today\u2019s advanced manufacturing infrastructure,\u201d Clifford Thermer, Goodwin\u2019s Dean of School of Business, Technology, and Advanced Manufacturing, also made it a point to mention.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeveloping qualified persons in this field is critical to our state\u2019s workforce and helping our manufacturers stay competitive. Manufacturing jobs allow participants to build sustainable careers, do work that matters, and control their financial destiny,\u201d Thermer detailed.<\/p>\n

The Current Career Shortage
\n<\/strong>Right now, manufacturing job retirements are on the rise, leaving tens of thousands of opportunities available in the state of Connecticut, but with insufficient numbers of skilled applicants to fill the abundance of job openings.<\/p>\n

With around 150,000 Connecticut manufacturing jobs in limbo, five to ten percent of production workers retire annually. Meanwhile, Connecticut is only producing one to two percent of its replacements, leaving significant space for new learners to respond to the historic employment need and help revive the manufacturing industry.<\/p>\n

Once considered tough trades, modern technological careers have erased the days of dirty, unsafe assembly lines, and in their place ushered in a reinvigorated environment of robotics and computer-controlled systems of automation.<\/p>\n

Goodwin is now gearing up to help secure Connecticut\u2019s manufacturing future by providing a path for those interested in the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cHigh school seniors enrolled in ECAMP\u2122 will acquire the skills needed to succeed in an Advanced Manufacturing career while fulfilling the Connecticut need for highly skilled CNC machinists,\u201d Dadona further described.<\/p>\n

Connecticut’s Productive Past
\n<\/strong>Once, the busy world of building in Connecticut was booming, with New Britain known as the \u201cHardware City,\u201d and Waterbury the \u201cBrass Center of the World.\u201d Whether it was Bristol assembling locks and timepieces or Willimantic creating textiles, Connecticut made an early name for itself through its prosperous manufacturing industry.<\/p>\n

In the 17th and 18th centuries, Connecticut provided produce, furs, timber, and iron for an international market. By the 19th century, mills and factories were creating fabricated textiles, tools, and cars to keep Connecticut’s commodities and goods thriving.<\/p>\n

In 1914, the Great War in Europe caused international buyers to further spend within the states. The Cheney Brothers factory in Manchester, Connecticut, produced silk parachutes, and Goodyear made rubber boots and military tires in Naugatuck. While General Dynamics Electric Boat built submarines for the war effort in Groton, Pratt and Whitney made F-35 jet fighter engines in East Hartford.<\/p>\n

So how did Connecticut go from being nicknamed the \u201cProvision State\u201d by George Washington to not producing enough workers to keep its factories running?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Maybe it was the myth<\/a> that manufacturing jobs weren\u2019t safe or stable livelihoods. Perhaps it was the offshoring of products to other countries. Or, it\u2019s possible the Great Recession of 2007 could have been a correlation to the manufacturing workforce calamity. Somewhere along the line, children in Connecticut schools stopped considering manufacturing jobs viable careers that cater to their interests.<\/p>\n

Creating the Foundation for Connecticut\u2019s Manufacturing Future
\n<\/strong>In the eras before now, the Nutmeg State was a creative construction hub that many of us now call home.\u00a0Now, if you drive past the abandoned, crumbling manufacturing buildings across Connecticut, you\u2019ll seen firsthand how traditional manufacturing fields have fallen off. Many Main Streets seem more like ghost towns muddled in memories of what once was.<\/p>\n

As the proud recipient of the apprenticeship grant, Goodwin University can now expand its efforts toward closing the Connecticut manufacturing workforce shortage by offering an abundance of training opportunities<\/a> to assist students in transforming their production passions into successful, rewarding careers.<\/p>\n
