Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. announces a Platinum Sponsorship of the Golden Corridor Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (GCAMP). Through this sponsorship, Mitsubishi Electric supports its customers' interests by investing in the skilled workforce involved for their business.
 
GCAMP works to connect manufacturers to their next generation workforce in the 'Golden Corridor' region of the Chicago metropolitan area. GCAMP works thoroughly with students to link programs and projects immediately to Golden Corridor manufacturers in a type of ways. It arranges open houses for students and parents to see advanced manufacturing in action, while educating those students and parents on the technologically advanced career opportunities in manufacturing. GCAMP grants manufacturing networking meetings as well as activities for area manufacturers to tour advanced manufacturing programs, learn about programs offered to students, connect with educators and meet the students. Additionally, GCAMP aids students in attending automation and manufacturing trade shows such as IMTS and FABTECH. It also works with local secondary schools and community colleges to establish manufacturing programs and support dual credit courses to help students along a STEM manufacturing career path.
 
Through GCAMP's extensive student resources, Mitsubishi Electric will have the chance to support education in manufacturing in an innovative means, by taking its CNC products, robots, and industrial automation equipment to the next generation of manufacturing employees. The sponsorship will also yield long-term benefits to other manufacturing businesses, educators, students, municipalities, and local community residents by building up the manufacturing and automation foundation in the region.
 
'Mitsubishi Electric is excited to sponsor a local organization like GCAMP,' said Derrick Jordan, mechatronics engineering group manager at Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. 'So many industries gain by a strengthened manufacturing labor force, from automotive and aerospace, to medical and agriculture. We look forward to the impact this will bring to our community.'
