National Manufacturing Week is celebrated the first week of October in the United States.\u00a0 Many companies, however, celebrate the profession for the entire month.\u00a0 It is a chance for manufacturers to open their doors and let students see first-hand what happens within their walls. Some companies use the opportunity to showcase the potential career possibilities and foster interest in the field.<\/p>\n

Why is advanced manufacturing important?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To stay relevant in today\u2019s marketplace, it takes a competitive advantage.\u00a0 Companies are constantly finding ways to produce goods and materials quicker and cheaper, making their bottom-line increase at a drastic pace.<\/p>\n

Technology is the key proponent in advanced manufacturing.\u00a0 As technologies have become more innovative, advanced manufacturing technology also improves.\u00a0 This creates better products and streamlines the processes used to create them.\u00a0And just think, new technologies are being developed every day.\u00a0 People thinking outside the box, finding innovative ways to increase production and decrease costs.\u00a0So where can we find all these potential employees to think outside the box?<\/p>\n

Thankfully, NIACC<\/a> has a solution to solve that problem!<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the morning of October 12th<\/sup>, NIACC students in the skilled trades programs<\/a> were invited to attend the Advanced Manufacturing Breakfast.\u00a0 They were able to enjoy the delicious morning meal while having round table discussions with area employers.\u00a0 After 15-20 minutes at one table, the students rotated to another table so they could meet with each company representative and discuss potential career options in North Iowa.<\/p>\n

The purpose of this event was to celebrate National Advanced Manufacturing Week.\u00a0 It\u2019s also a great opportunity to connect NIACC students with employers in the industry, giving them an idea of the kind of opportunities available and networking with area professionals in the field.<\/p>\n

As North Iowa faces a slew of workforce challenges due to an aging population, events like this are instrumental for the emerging workforce in our area by putting them into fantastic career opportunities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During the Advanced Manufacturing Breakfast, two students received job offers right there on the spot!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Many manufacturing jobs are listed under the \u2018skilled trades\u2019 category – a sector NIACC<\/a> excels in.\u00a0 Traditional manufacturing is thought of as taking raw materials and creating a product that adds value.\u00a0 Advanced manufacturing, however, is the practice of using innovative technologies and methods to improve a company\u2019s ability to be competitive in the manufacturing sector.<\/p>\n

The purpose of advanced manufacturin<\/a>g is to streamline activity and create a more efficient operation.\u00a0 It can be found in just about every industry, including electric vehicles, robotics, air structures, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, high volume goods, rapid prototyping and many more.<\/p>\n

Manufacturing and product development is highly encouraged for people who like to work with their minds and hands. High-tech manufacturing continues to grow, especially in the areas of 3-D printing, and high-speed, computerized numerical control machining.<\/p>\n

There are currently 373 advanced manufacturing jobs listed for Iowa on Indeed.com.\u00a0 According to zippia.com, the career expert website, \u201cAdvanced manufacturing engineers can make $90,343 per year on average in the United States.<\/p>\n
