6 PRIME Partnership Response In Manufacturing Education What is PRIME? PRIME builds upon the SME Education Foundation s long history of inspiring preparing and supporting the future workforce for manufacturing Represents a custom, per-community, industry-driven approach to addressing the current and future skills gap for manufacturing Translates the needs of manufacturing directly into the education system, creating immediate contributors for our industry Challenges the outdated perception of manufacturing and creates future champions

7 What value does PRIME provide its supporters and partners? Provides a direct avenue to attract, influence and train a future manufacturing workforce Closes the skills gap much quicker and more economically than the traditional education to career pathway Gives donors and supporters a platform to tie corporate citizenship goals to a priority business objective of workforce training and development

8 What does PRIME cost? PRIME is represented by three levels of commitments, each over a three-year cycle: BUILD The school has very little current focus on advanced manufacturing education tied to industry need. PRIME brings equipment, technology, teacher training, curriculum, summer camp programing, mentoring, scholarships and more to the school and builds out a program to represent the needs of that manufacturing community within 3 years. (Average $300K) BOLSTER The school has some level of current curriculum and equipment, however, it needs updating and customization to meet the needs of the manufacturing partnerships in that community. ($150K - $200K) INTEGRATE The school is doing great work, however, may need to develop career pathways, summer camps to attract younger students and some upgrades to equipment or curriculum. ($30K - $50K)
