$1,000 Grant Intended to Encourage Manufacturing Explorer Post Participation
The Precision Metalforming Association Educational Foundation announced this week that Vulcan Tool Company has been awarded a grant through the foundation’s Micro-Grant Program. The Micro-Grant Program is designed to help PMA member companies build a talent pipeline, and positively impact their community. PMAEF allocated $15,000 for the Metalforming Micro-Grant Program to foster the growth and promotion of metalforming careers and initiatives. The program aims to provide funding to member companies that implement projects or programs to enhance the public’s experience and exposure to manufacturing/metalforming careers in collaboration with MFG Day initiatives.
