Wow. Somebody really gets it! Technical, hands-on training is extremely important and rewarding. A lot of people learn best that way (and not by spending years at a four-year college merely reading, writing and taking tests and then sometimes having exorbitant student loans to pay off). NOT. We need to combine hands-on with book-learning. I just sent your website another e-mail, but I feel compelled to comment again on what a GREAT GREAT website this is. Wow. Somebody really gets it!

Have you considered giving funds to a nonprofit starting apprenticeship programs in the trades? We are in California beginning programs training in woodworking and carpentry on a couple of projects. We hope to teach industrial skills to some. We are working with local nonprofits that work with the homeless and parolees who need training to get back on their feet. Maybe you know of other companies who help start-up manufacturing companies. Any ideas are appreciated. The college scholarship program is great.

My 5 year training was excellent as is the continuing education that is available to me. Plus we all are familiar with Grainger.
