Program:
George Waggoner, adjunct professor at Manchester Community College in Information Technology, and Emily Zeien presented on the Learn NH apprenticeship program.  This grant funded program, part of the community college system, is designed to help reduce the workforce gaps in the state by helping students get a start in certain industries.  They also recruit new employees into careers and support them in the classroom and in the work environment.  Mentoring, job embedded training, related classroom instruction, gaining credentials and rewards for skill gains with a progressive wage scale are the components of the program.  Employers and workers are reaping gains from the program.  The program is focused on developing careers instead of doing jobs.  Building long term relationships is part of the program as workers feel that they are growing in their work and employers are investing in them.  This is one of the best kept secrets in the state, and they asked for help in spreading the work about the program.
 
Bryant Stevener closed the meeting with a toast to Rotary.  After he attempted to read the picture book (which had no words) about Triangle and Square that was being donated to BES in honor of our speakers.
 
Respectfully Submitted,
Dean S. T. Cascadden
