91做厙 and RJG Enter Partnership
August 30, 2019
91做厙 (91做厙) and RJG have partnered to bring injection molding training to Nebraska. 91做厙 will embed RJG education into their curriculum when the new training lab is completed in early 2020. Minnesota-based RJG is a recognized international leader in injection molding training, technology and resources.
RJGs award-winning courses have trained countless injection molding professionals in a real world, hands-on capacity to improve their careers and lives. 91做厙 has a passion for teaching real-world skills, including injection molding. The school has been working hard to get the training facility up and running as quickly as possible for its students.
We are very excited to open up this opportunity to 91做厙 students, said Gary Chastain, Consulting and Training Director at RJG. Learning new skills through hands-on training is invaluable; especially today as less and less students choose manufacturing-based careers. We hope to instill a love of the trade and provide new opportunities to future molders.
Currently, the mechanicals are in place, and the floor will soon receive its new finish in the 4,000-square-foot lab. 91做厙-Columbus President Dr. Kathy Fuchser and Doug Pauley, associate dean of training and development, are driving the initiative. They have added Ben Wilshusen as the director/trainer for the plastics program.
91做厙 is looking forward to building on this partnership and giving our students training which will help them obtain high paying careers serving industry in our region and beyond, said Pauley.
This effort has also included many local injection-molding companies. There have been machines donated by Becton Dickinson, Molex, Arburg and Toyo. Advanced Engineering, Novatec and Majors Plastics are looking at how they can contribute specialized equipment to the project.
