The primary objective of the Power Partner program is to increase the amount of fluid power being taught in university agricultural, mechanical engineering, and engineering technology degree programs and to enhance student-to-industry connections.
To be considered as a Power Partner, the university must:
- Participate in the Speaker’s Bureau program
- Participate in the Fluid Power Vehicle Challenge
- Have a Fluid Power Club
- Host a student/industry connection event
- Teach the ten core fluid power competencies
In essence, these schools are the go-to places for NFPA members to source engineering talent for their companies. Industry partners can work with students in all of the programs that these Power Partners offer.
Connecting with our Power Partner Universities is a phenomenal way to put your company’s job openings in front of a growing population of student engineers interested and excited about going to work in the fluid power industry – and, with your added support, we’ll be able to bring those same opportunities to new Power Partners in all the states highlighted on this map.
