The Golden Corridor Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (GCAMP) has been addressing the skills gap problem in manufacturing the past 5 years.  We have been changing the perception of manufacturing in the following ways:

• Offered open houses to area middle and high schools students, parents to witness advanced manufacturing
• Sponsored buses for students to experience advanced manufacturing at trade shows like IMTS and Fab Tech
• Assisted Harper Community College to redevelop an advanced manufacturing program that now has some 350 enrolled students with potential for 1,000+
• Provided manufacturing scholarships to Harper’s program with plans to support other training providers
• Collaborated to initiate a manufacturing internship program in conjunction with workforce boards that has won national and state recognition for its innovation
• Worked with local secondary schools and community colleges to support dual credit/advanced placement courses to get students on a STEM manufacturing career path with college credit prior to attending a two or four year college
• Created a web site (www.gcamp.org) and have been granted NFP status by the state of Illinois and have been granted 501C3 non-profit status with the IRS
