Rhoads Hosts Project MFG Welding Competition and the US Navy’s Talent Pipeline Program’s Career Discovery Day

This week, Rhoads Industries was thrilled to host Project MFG Welding Competition and the US Navy’s Talent Pipeline Program’s Career Discovery Day. This event provided an exciting platform for attendees to explore various career paths and engage with defense industry professionals. Rhoads’ current apprentices had an opportunity to speak with and interact with attendees, sharing their experiences and insights. It was a dynamic day filled with enthusiasm and the chance to connect with talented individuals and potential future apprentices.

Project MFG is a catalyst to elevate the next generation of highly skilled trade professionals by changing mindsets, fostering community preparedness, and challenging how critical skills needed to succeed in modern advanced manufacturing are taught. When schools, industry, and government work together, we all win. Students gain skills to succeed, schools increase capacity to teach more students, industry has more qualified job candidates, and U.S. manufacturing becomes more competitive.

Special recognition to Rhoads’ Advanced Training Center Team including Steve Catherman, Doc Stanaitis, Dustin Trumbore, James Holden, Patrick Devine, Trish Conti, Joe Welsh, and all others involved, whose tireless efforts and preparation led to an impressive day.

During this event, Fox 29 interviewed Steve Catherman and a few of our apprentices about their journey with us! Please follow the link below to view!
