NOCOM 2015:
Building for the future
SUPPORTING PARTNERS
In September of 2013, a group of manufacturing professionals from 28 companies in
Northern Colorado convened to find out what was keeping them awake at night. The
conveners were a group of public partners representing educators, municipalities, and
economic developers. After a great deal of sharing, swearing, and comparing, three
themes emerged.
Two of the three major pain points related to workforce concerns. As manufacturers,
we worry about where our next generation of employees will come from. We also
worry about what they will be taught as they prepare for their future careers. This
has spawned two committees: Manufacturing Rocks and Vo-Tech Curriculum
Development.
Manufacturing Rocks focuses on career awareness for students, parents and
teachers. They offer bus tours of manufacturing sites to show that these careers are
challenging, rewarding, and fulfilling.
Vo-Tech Curriculum Development is a partnership between manufacturers
and educators who have been working closely to identify critical occupations in
manufacturing and the key skills that are required by those occupations.
The final of the three major pain points for manufacturers spoke to a lack of
networking and to supply chain concerns. In short, as a manufacturing community,
we really don’t know each other. This leads to us looking beyond our regions, State
borders, or even outside of the USA for best practices, products, and services that
might be available locally. This concern led to the creation of the Networking and
Local Supply Chain Committee, the host for NOCOM 2015.
Collectively, these three committees make up the NoCo Manufacturing Partnership.
The Partnership is an all-volunteer organization representing a loose affiliation of
about 150 manufacturing companies, primarily in Northern Colorado. Together with
our public partners and other liked-minded pro-manufacturing organizations, we seek
to work together to help manufacturers and their communities thrive.
Take the time to visit NOCOM 2015, or better yet, come as an exhibitor, and see what
we’re all about.
