Are you ready to take your seat at the Member table and join us in building the backbone of America? Skilled trade jobs are in high demand, and telling parents and students about this unique college alternative is just one way to craft the narrative and stack the deck with capable and equipped young adults. At the Adams Wells Manufacturing Alliance, we are a group of dedicated members that help boost Northeast Indiana’s workforce by educating and working with high schools with the equipment and knowledge needed to help their students along their career paths. Our members play a critical role in strengthening our workforce for your business as well as with our community. By joining our organization, you play an essential role in a student’s life, and your company can find the right talent and train these students to be a part of your talented team.
Join the Alliance
The AWMA exists to educate students, parents, and teachers in our communities about skilled trade jobs in the manufacturing industry. Our goal is to help students gain the necessary knowledge they need to be successful in their career paths and life skills. Another vital role of our mission is to help the student’s parents become aware of the exciting opportunities behind these highly skilled-trade careers and provide mom and dad with the information they need to talk with their child about their future career path.
Not only is manufacturing a solid post-grad path to pursue — in many ways, it may even set students up to achieve success quicker than a traditional college route. Many high school programs provide these students with the technical skills they need to be successful.
For starters, many of these students would join your team as students in hopes of full-time employment at a later date. This program allows you to provide all the training and coaching needed while they’re still in school so they can jump right in when employment comes around.
