It has often been said to me by EMC Members that there is a huge disconnect between what kids in High School are told about a career in Manufacturing and what one really entails. A career in Manufacturing has not been something that Guidance Councillors would traditionally encourage their best and brightest to pursue.

The five EMC Member facilities that opened their doors for the Guidance Councillors were Attica Manufacturing, OES Inc., Transform Automotive, Hanwha Canada and Trojan UV.

It is through these types of relationships that EMC will be able to continue to provide the tools, resources and services that we presently do to our members.
On Wednesday October 26th EMC London/Oxford Consortium hosted a very special session at McCormick Canada.
At this event 3 EMC Members shared examples of "innovation" at their facilities.

The vision soon expanded and created employment opportunities for others eager to see their talents and energies tested and…
