Tyler Junior College (TJC) has joined the Society of Mechanical Engineers (SME) to be part of the Manufacturing Imperative — Workforce Pipeline Challenge. It is one of 27 colleges across the country and only one of two institutions in Texas selected to join this consortium that is designed to create innovative solutions to strengthen the manufacturing industry and enable it to be successful in the future.
This is an initiative that will last for three years and will help the manufacturing workforce by attracting 1,000 people each year from each of the participating technical and community colleges for a total of over 75,000 qualified individuals pursuing careers in manufacturing.
Flyer printing can be used to inform a community of such initiatives and their benefits for an industry.
Provost and vice president for academic and student affairs at TJC, Dr. Deana Sheppard, said that TJC is one of 27 community colleges in the United States who was selected for this consortium and expressed her honor in being part of this. Dr. Sheppard added that this will broaden what is already offered at the college and said she is excited about being able to do this.
Dr. Juan E. Mejia, President and CEO of TJC, said that workforce development helps to change lives, and this is the business of the college. He added that this will result in a better quality of life for everyone and regional prosperity.
