Your idea on the businesses visiting the schools is great. Perhaps the local businesses could also address the Chamber of Commerce. The school might consider joining the Chamber in order to get access to the business owners who could promote the value of the program to their local schools.<br /> <br />Getting the direct attention of the students is likely more complicated as I don't know if MCCTC could get any direct contact with the feeder schools.<br /> <br />Has MCCTC thought about linking to the Facebook pages of the local schools ? Presuming the students keep track on the school status, this could be a way to get links for the MCCTC programs or YouTube flims promoting machining careers directly to the students.<br /> <br />I think your comment about 'I have jobs, I need students' and the point that a student can emerge from your program with work ready skills that will let a student earn a living while earning a degree could be the beginning of a great article in the local paper or TV station. <br /> <br />Best regards,<br />Jo AnnRCStapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150855107895055983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8731503011210783753.post-87166049604699722922011-01-24T22:37:05.877-05:002011-01-24T22:37:05.877-05:00In response to Richard, you would think with all o...In response to Richard, you would think with all of the reality TV shows like Orange County Choppers and the like that the youth would be interested in making things. My opinion to your problem would be to get your local industry involved in work fairs and local industrial expos. <br /><br />Posted by Tim IsbellRCStapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150855107895055983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8731503011210783753.post-67925334602642346472011-01-24T22:26:21.390-05:002011-01-24T22:26:21.390-05:00Hi Rich,

I will send this out to the other Precision Machining instructors. Keep up the great work! <br /><br /> <br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />Eric.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Eric J.

If the precision Machine program runs it coarse than this will be a GREAT LOSS for our community. Another blow to the Mahoning/Trumbull county area. We have politicians who should be helping in keeping this "ASSET" going!!!!!<br />I'll try to help in any way I can.<br />Thanks<br />Bill White,Sale<br />The Huston GroupRCStapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150855107895055983noreply@blogger.com
