This year, TRUMPF Inc. (Farmington, CT) is among the first to receive their Pathways to Apprenticeship award.
“We are honored to receive this award recognizing our apprenticeship program,” said Christine Benz, the training manager at TRUMPF. “The skills gap is a problem plaguing many
manufacturers today, and we have found a proactive solution that not only benefits our
workforce, but also provides opportunities for young people to amass the skills needed for a
successful career in manufacturing.”
A presentation was held June 15-16, 2017 in Philadelphia, PA, during the National Fund’s
Leadership meeting where all recipients of the Young Adult Employer Champion award were

relating to jobs.
