It's Graduation Time...Is Your Student Engagement On Track?

As of April 30, 2018, there were 451,000 manufacturing job openings — or 7.4 percent of total private job openings of 6,117,000. As we head into summer and look toward fall, we wanted to take a moment to offer a few important reminders and suggestions on student engagement, particularly as students will be instrumental in filling the manufacturing workforce pipeline:

Our student members are graduating and entering the workforce. How can you and/or your chapter make an impact?
- Buy a grad an SME membership to help with retention and professional development ($45/graduating student).
- Encourage student members to post their resumes and/or search for jobs on SME Jobs Connection, or post an internship.
- Share SME's new video.
Help us congratulate and share in their successes:
Succession planning is essential for a successful chapter. Have you considered a student chapter member/emerging professional for an officers position or asked for assistance with a student chapter?
Engagement at all levels is important. How can your chapter engage with student members?

If you have any additional engagement recommendations, best practices or would like to share your successes with other members, we'd love to hear about them (please consider posting a blog here).

Enjoy your summer!
