To ensure that a “job-ready” workforce is in place, a groundbreaking framework of the county’s community college, faculty, industry sector professionals and other partners has been developed to build and deliver strong workforce solutions together.
One such solution can be found in the SUNY Orange Summer Youth Enrichment Program.  Here, middle and high school students will spend one week this summer discovering local opportunities in the advance manufacturing and distribution industries.
Dr. John Yelle, Operations Manager at Advanced Coating Technologies, a subsidiary of Pratt & Whitney, will instruct the students with tailored programs that offer unique informative and relevant experiences.  The morning instruction will be followed by hands-on afternoon programs at four related Orange County companies.
