RI manufacturers - tell your current or future employees about the Rhode Island Commerce Wavemaker Fellowship. It's a great benefit that can help keep #manufacturing talent in our state (and on your production line).
? It's not too late! With the Wavemaker Fellowship, we're helping recent college graduates pay off student loan debt. If you work in STEM, certain design fields, healthcare, or education, you may be eligible to receive up to $6,000 in refundable tax credits. Learn about your eligibility and apply here. NEW: The deadline to apply has been extended to March 28th! https://lnkd.in/ejE9F9mx ?? :?Amgen

Rhode Island continues to be a steady source of Textile Innovation! Loved reading this Boston Globe Media piece on University of Rhode Island Professor Izabela Ciesielska-Wrobel and the work she's doing to help visually impaired and neurodivergent consumers. https://lnkd.in/egCAgNhY (Love our small state connections, too. Prof. Ciesielska-Wrobel is active in the Rhode Island Textile Innovation Network (RITIN) which Polaris MEP supports, and is a Faculty Fellow in the URI RISE-UP program our sister-center runs.) #Textiles #TextilesManufacturing #RhodeMap

Naturally, we're a little biased towards not just "Made In America," but #MadeInRI! Fun to go behind the scenes at igus Inc.'s East Providence location with Jacob Sanchez.
I teach 237,061+ people Automation for fun| Education leader for CTE/STEM| Keynote Speaker| Industrial Show Host| Engineers ??, Creatives??| SME 30 under 30|
What are your thoughts on “Made in (insert country here)” Here’s what I’ve said the past three years: I LOVE made in America. I LOVE made in Canada. I LOVE made in Germany, Japan, my list goes on to include all of the hard working innovators and makers around the world. YES there is a level of needing to stay ahead and competitive that’s just business. But the beauty in this industry of manufacturing and automation, is that no one nation owns it. It’s for everyone?? So be proud of where all our products come from. And I’m proud to say my team at igus Inc. makes tons of our products here in America thanks to great business with companies like ARBURG, Inc. Keep it up everyone. #manufacturing #madeinamerica #automation #plastics #injectionmolding #business #manufacturer #engineer #sustainability #robotics #industrial #stem

??Studies show that anywhere from 40% to 60% of #manufacturing companies lack a #successionplan for top leadership. Many small & medium-sized manufacturers, however, are most at risk from a lack of succession planning for critical production roles. ??“If you have 8 guys of retirement age and 2 of them leave, the impact on sales and production will be big six months down the road," is how JADE MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. President Chris Burch put it. Burch reached out to Polaris MEP to help the company -- and more importantly their aged-50+ employees -- plan for the future. ??Read the Success Story: https://lnkd.in/eSryxHDA ??Spoiler alert! Project results included positive impact on sales, savings and modernization. #SuccessionPlanning #Workforce #Retention #MEPNationalNetwork #MEPNN Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP)
