NTMA Member Keeps Skilled Workforce Issue in the News

Congratulations to NTMA member Dieter Weissenriider of Weiss-Aug, Inc in East Hanover, NJ for his recent letter to the editor published in the Daily Record.  Dieter writes that the skills shortage needs to be addressed by the industry refocusing on apprenticeships, the government supporting apprenticeships through tax breaks and/or grants, academic institutions providing students with appropriate math, science and other tools needed for manufacturing jobs and companies and government helping students with tuition-free opportunites to pursue engineering degrees.  Read Dieter's letter here.
