In January, Micro Instrument Corp was featured as one of Rochester's top manufacturing companies that supports employees who enroll in the "New York State Apprenticeship Program" for advanced manufacturing. Currently, there are over 602 job openings in advanced manufacturing each year and roughly 43 percent are being filled with local, newly trained workers. Micro instrument Corp is proud to support the local Rochester workforce by being a large proponent to this program.

Rapt students listened to Micro Instrument Corporation CNC Manager Mike Failing speak about parts he had engineered that are now on Mars. It was part of this year's Advanced Manufacturing workshop at the Middle School for fifth-and-sixth-graders. The Career Exploration Workshop series began last year and was a huge success.  Students are able to choose an area of interest, like Advanced Manufacturing, and then connect with a variety of visiting experts from different areas in that field.  It's a great opportunity to begin to explore options for the future.

Micro continues to support Manufacturing education with class tours and events like this one. Micro also supports several vocational open-houses to encourage careers in manufacturing like those offered through our well respected apprenticeship programs.
