Recruiting and Networking

The following events are targeted, fluid power recruitment and networking events that are conducted virtually or on school campuses, exclusively for NFPA members.

Upcoming Workforce Events

Workforce Engagement Group sessions serve as a forum to discuss activities and opportunities designed to connect NFPA members with the Fast Track to Fluid Power and Power Partner programs. Both programs create awareness and attention to fluid power education at 2- year and 4- year institutions and gives participating members increased visibility to emerging talent in their region and provides recruitment opportunities to more successfully interact with students interested in careers in our industry.

University Workforce Engagement Meeting

The NFPA would like to invite you to join our Fall University Workforce Engagement Group. This group is designed to bring together the faculty from our Power Partner Universities as well as NFPA industry representatives for collaboration and engagement on a variety of topics.

The purpose for this upcoming meeting will be to discuss the addition of competencies related to general electrics/electronics, control systems, and data acquisition that industry experts have identified as competencies that many fluid power professionals need today. Before finalizing and sharing these competencies with universities, we aim to gather feedback from both our education and industry partners.
