Minds of Tomorrow Presented at HOUSTEX Student Summit



At HOUSTEX, Tom Paine Group's Eric Soto demonstrated for high school students what the Haimer Shrink Machine could do. "We are thrilled to participate in these programs, and we hope our demos bring more newcomers into metalworking and industrial equipment," said a company spokesperson.

The Tom Paine Group demonstrated the latest in metalworking technologies for Houston-area high school students in late February to support industry group initiatives aimed at building the skilled manufacturing workforce of tomorrow, the manufacturers' representative group said.

The HOUSTEX Student Summit, hosted by SME and its local Chapter 29 for Houston-area high schools, was held on the event's final day to highlight manufacturing career opportunities and showcase the potential presented by high-tech advances. Students are given access to innovations in manufacturing technology and the opportunity to engage with industry experts. For instance, students at this year's event designed a wind turbine, constructed it with a 3D printer and tested its performance.

As an SME member, the Tom Paine Group stepped forward as a student-friendly exhibitor to impress students with recent developments in metalworking technologies. "We represent some of the best, most innovative companies in industrial technologies," said Tom Paine, President of the manufacturers' rep group. "These are often the teams driving transformational changes in manufacturing today. It was the perfect opportunity for them to see the unbelievable, exciting new ideas that are changing the world. That's what industrial technologies do."

Student Summit attendees are the right audience to engage, Paine said, praising the efforts of the SME Education Foundation. He and the manufacturers he represents are acutely aware of the predicted shortfall in skilled talent of nearly 900,000 within the next 10 years. That includes the next generation of manufacturers' reps, who will require deep knowledge in all technologies used to gain a competitive edge.

"It is never too early or too late to learn," Paine said. "The sooner these young people discover the possibilities in manufacturing, the sooner they can start making their contributions and changing the world."
