Beneficial Talent Pipeline Partnerships
Sara Jobson with Eaton RESA, along with the Capital Area Manufacturing Council’s Cindy Kangas, Alro Steel’s Dave Anspaugh and Potterville High School’s Kaytie Palmiter, will outline how the adoption of one local high school has evolved into a long-standing and beneficial partnership and talent pipeline with robust benefits to all involved parties. Alro Steel Corporation has partnered with Potterville Middle/High School to expose students to the magnitude of jobs available in manufacturing with monthly focus on the different departments and jobs in a manufacturing facility.

The Power of Collaboration: It's About Working Together
Join NEOGEN’s Julie Mann as she shares her vision for the future of addressing workforce challenges. Collaboration with other regional employers is foundational to the success of the industry and creates a powerful opportunity for leadership development and employee retention. It’s not about the individual; it’s about working together.
Training Enhancement and Mentoring System
The Luminous Group pioneered the TEaMS program, short for “Training Enhancement and Mentoring System,” aimed at resolving the widening knowledge gap in manufacturing. Discover how TEaMS carefully captures critical manufacturing job elements, crafts tailored knowledge packets, coaches’ new trainers, mentors’ new hires and validates their knowledge and skills. The outcome? A shorter learning curve, higher safety, improved quality, and greater productivity. Attendees will enjoy an interactive small team activity which highlights aspects of the TEaMS process. Join The Luminous Group’s Murray Sittsamer and Elizabeth Sollish as they demonstrate how TEaMS could help enhance your operator training program by reducing variation in training outcomes and greatly reduce the learning curve.
