The Maine Blue Collar Scholarship Foundation recently awarded SRTC Precision Manufacturing Instructor Joseph Bolduc a scholarship to enter the work environment for a week to better understand current trends and best practices in Precision Manufacturing. Joe spent the week at ARCH Arundel Machine Tool. Pictured with Joe (center) is Marcel Bertrand (left), President and Ethan Balistreri (right), Manufacturing Manager. Observing modern high speed machining practices, processes, quality control and more was energizing. It was a fantastic experience, which Joe plans to share with his students.
This was the inaugural Teacher Scholarship year; plans to expand this program to more instructors in the future is likely. Many thanks to the Maine Blue Collar Scholarship Foundation and Arch Arundel for making this opportunity possible.
