Mfg Day at TRCC RAMTEC Thursday, Oct. 13

mfg-article mfg-day-flyer-2016

Tri-Rivers RAMTEC is hosting an event to celebrate Manufacturing Day on October 13, 9am to 4pm, including a facility tour, a VEX Robotics Competition, and for the first time, an industrial robotics contest. Ritch Ramey, Engineering Coordinator for RAMTEC, said, “Students are thirsting for more real-world robotics applications experience.” He hopes the industrial robotics contest will become a national competition.

The event, sponsored by the PRIME (Partnership Response In Manufacturing Education), Honda Foundation, FANUC and Yaskawa Motoman Robotics, in coordination with Robotic Industries Association (ria), Consolidated Electric Cooperative, Inc, National Robotics Challenge, (NRC), REC Foundation and RAMTEC Vex Robotics League, is open to the public.

“We are encouraging area high school students, college students, adults and regional manufacturing technicians to attend,” said Ritch Ramey. “Our goal is to draw attention to the outstanding opportunities that a career in manufacturing can provide.

“Over the next decade, it is estimated that nearly 3.5 million U.S. manufacturing jobs will be needed and 2 million of those jobs are expected to go unfilled due to manufacturers’ inability to find talent with the required skills,” said Ramey. “These numbers dramatically underscore the importance of introducing as many people as possible to the significant role played by manufacturing in Ohio and the entire nation.”

Manufacturing Day will show students how math, science, engineering and problem solving tie into real-world applications,” said Ramey. “They will see this and experience the relationship between STEM and manufacturing and what types of careers are available in the manufacturing field.

Exhibits and demonstrations will  include: FANUC Robotics Industrial Robotics Contest, Motoman Robotics Industrial Robotics contest, Vex Starstruck contest, Fastech MasterCAM , Sandvik Tools, Lincoln Technical College, Honda, Universal Robotics, Miller Augmented Welder, National Guard Mobile trailer, Robotics Educational Contest Foundation (RECF), Lincoln Electric Welding, Parker Hydraulics, Allen-Bradley PLC,  Mitsubishi PLC and Omron PLC.

Skin Care & Construction new for 2017-18

Portrait Of Builder On Building Site With Apprentices

The new enhanced Construction Trades Academy will prepare a student for a fulfilling career and promising future in numerous construction trades.

Tri-Rivers is adding 2 new programs next year—Construction Trades Academy and Esthetics (Skin Care)
The Construction Trades Academy is an enhanced multi-trade construction two-year program. It will concentrate on construction and related careers such as roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, masonry, interior finishing, estimating, blueprint reading, and framing.

During the first year, students will master the basics by working on individual and group projects, according to Larry Hickman, chief instructional officer. “The second year students will work in teams building two tiny houses with electrical and plumbing included,” said Hickman. “The students will then become trade specific in their specialization for the project—the plumber, the electrician, the framer, the finisher, the mason, the dry waller, the painter, etc.”

Skin Care is a growing career field. This one-year program is open to juniors and seniors.

The second program is Esthetics (Skin Care). This program is a one-year program open to juniors and seniors. If taken the junior year, a student could opt to take another program at Tri-Rivers their senior year.
Estheticians are responsible for maintaining the health and well-being of clients’ skin by utilizing a number of skin treatments.
“This is an exciting program that many students have asked about,” said Instructor Becky Salyer. “Students will learn to cleanse, wax, moisturize and apply makeup to enhance a person’s overall appearance. Estheticians are also taught to identify the warning signs of numerous medical conditions.”
Once they complete the skills training, they are prepared for the Ohio Board licensing exam for Esthetics, leading to immediate employment, said Salyer.
