How and why did this program come about?  CAMPS continues to hear from our members, their challenge to fill critical skilled positions. So we will continue to explore opportunities for strategic partnerships with workforce and education programs to assist the efforts to find qualified applicants. This effort includes building a skilled workforce by also educating on-site in your company culture.  The FIRST Robotics students were identified as a group the council not only had direct access to but were eager to learn more about Advanced Manufacturing.  Read More

CAMPS is once again attending the AWEA Wind Power 2012 Conference in Atlanta Georgia June 5th and 6th.

 To CAMPS,
 

 I just wanted to express my appreciation for the opportunity in participating at the JBLM M2M class, the help I received and the better confidence I have in knowing how to handle myself in the chance of an interview. I probably haven't sent you this before so in case I haven't, I'm doing it now.

 It was interesting in seeing how the manufacturing world is through the videos and it gives an inside look at what to expect before you want to think about if it's for you or not. I know there are things that I still need to work on but it's nothing that I can't get help with from companies who are willing to take a chance on me.

 Being a vet, I've acquired numerous trade skills since being in civilian life and didn't know how valuable they are to other companies until I went to the M2M class. It gave me an idea of how I can utilize them better and more now that I'm in the position to find a better job. Along with what I learned in the military, I can "broaden my horizons" so to speak and venture on to bigger and better things.

 So thank you for giving me this opportunity and the emails letting me know when the "round tables", tours, etc. are so I can see what other companies I may be interested in. The whole staff that puts on these events, classes & tours are absolutely top notch in my opinion with the willingness & friendliness to help others (people like me who are in a trying time financially, among other things, to have a chance at being able to attend).

Please tell all who was involved and continues to do so they're the best and give them my thanks as well.
