DeWITT — The third annual Manufacturing Careers Day aimed to provide awareness of manufacturing job opportunities in Central New York to young people, organizers say.
The event was held Oct. 5 at Inficon’s DeWitt location and featured a tour of the company’s facilities and a roundtable discussion with a representative from the National Association for Manufacturing (NAM), according to a news release. Partners for Education and Business, Inc. (PEB), an affiliate of the Manufacturers Association of Central New York (MACNY), organized the event.
More than 100 area high school and community college students attended.
“We as a region have a plethora of talent, opportunity, and potential workforce that can remain here in Central New York and add to our economic development,” MACNY President Randy Wolken said in a news release.
Inficon, based in Switzerland, produces high-tech instrumentation, sensors, and process-control software. The firm’s products are used in manufacturing devices like smartphones, flat-screen TVs, and even solar cells.
The company serves the environmental protection and emergency-response markets as well. Its systems can monitor and analyze air and water, for example, and detect contaminants and dangerous substances.
The firm’s largest facility is in DeWitt, where it employs 250 people, according to the company. Worldwide, Inficon employs 850, including 320 in the United States.
“There are 600,000 manufacturing jobs going unfilled today because of a skills gap between employers’ needs and the skills available in the applicant pool,” Brent Weil, NAM senior vice president, said in the release.
Weil spoke during the career day event.
PEB aims to address workforce-preparation issues and improve career education and skill development.
