STUDENTS AND FACULTY OPPORTUNITIES

Training for the Next Generation of Manufacturing Innovators

College students and faculty are a key part of the RI MADE initiative!

The program is not only making investments in manufacturing facilities or technology, it’s investing in the future workforce that will keep these companies innovating and growing.

Hundreds of students will receive education, training and on-the-job consulting experience over the course of the program.

Specifically:

• Students are paid to work as part of teams of consultants.
• Representatives from nationally-respected ARM (Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing) and MxD (Manufacturing x Digital) travel each term to Rhode Island to train students to conduct the Phase One cybersecurity and automation assessments.
• Expert manufacturing advisors from Polaris MEP train students on risk mitigation assessments.
• Assignments are timed not to interfere with breaks, exam periods or the end of the semester.
• Students receive coaching in preparing and presenting reports, and gain awareness of manufacturing careers.
• Students get exposure to Rhode Island manufacturing businesses and employers, through site tours and report-outs.

This opportunity is open to students at any Rhode Island college or university.
