Technolink Snapshot September 2019

Dear Technolink Community Member, September represents the abundance that comes from the richness of the American community. It is especially significant due to the heroic events of our first responders on September 11th and the outpouring of love and support in every community in the days and weeks that followed. We are very fortunate to have a preview of insights from two of our distinguished speakers at this year's fall forum: Dr. Tony Beliz of Beliz & Associates presents the subject of awareness and safety;  and Doug Finke of the Quantum Computing Report presents the underpinnings of quantum computing and why it is so important to everyone. In addition, Jim Watson of CMTC reminds us to mark our calendars for National Manufacturing Day on October 4th! Thank you for your continued support of our Technolink community.  Ssusan Forte O'Neill Editor and Co-founder, Technolink Association

Manufacturing Day is October 4!

Technolink member Jim Watson, CEO and President of CMTC, is proud to share their active participation in, and promotion of, Manufacturing Day since its inception in 2012.   On Friday, October 4, 2019, manufacturers across California and the nation will open their doors to participate in Manufacturing Day events, kicking off a series of activities throughout the month of October. This year, CMTC and its California’s Manufacturing Network are sponsoring, organizing and coordinating events statewide. This annual celebration gives small- and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) the chance to showcase their facilities and career opportunities to students, educators, elected officials and the media. Throughout the state, visitors will learn about real job opportunities, career paths, training and available industry resources.

CMTC is committed to pairing up schools wishing to attend Manufacturing Day events with manufacturers and other organizations hosting open houses, career fairs, and expos. For further information, please visit www.cmtc.com.
