Now Announcing: Workforce Engagement Groups

A critical pillar of the NFPA’s mission is to develop an educated fluid power workforce and connect students to careers in the industry. In support of this mission, we are launching four state-specific Workforce Engagement Groups – one each in Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana. The purpose of these groups is to bring your company into even closer contact with the Fast Track and Power Partner schools and students that are looking for employment opportunities in the fluid power industry. If you have facilities and/or hiring needs in one of those states, we will welcome a representative of your company on one or more of these groups. Our goal will be to bring NFPA members together at least once a quarter to interact directly with the instructors and students that are engaged in our programs in each of these states.

For questions or more information, please contact Stephanie at sscaccianoce@nfpa.com
