Partnering with Schools to Advance Industry Education

Helping to grow our future workforce one student at a time.

Empowering Our Future workforce

Adopt-a-School

These days, more and more students choose to advance their education at the college level –pursing fields outside the manufacturing sector.  As this trend continues, the skills gap widens… unless we do something about it.

Integrating an Adopt-A-School program will help you grow your future workforce. Microvellum Software is just one of the many components that help ensure your “seedlings” grow into skilled workers that will add value to your business. You have the power to make a difference. You hold the keys to unlocking and empowering students to make smart choices and close the skills gap.

Connect with Key People

To get the adoption process started, you will first need to identify the key players that will be involved in the conversation. Once you have identified the key players, you will want to give each of them an opportunity to share ideas and ask questions about the proposed adoption and plan. Help them understand what a win looks like for the students and for your company.

Together, create an adoption plan that will bring benefit to the school, you and ultimately improve educational outcomes for students.
