This month we received a grant from Willamette Workforce Partnership that will allow us to provide valuable training to our employees across all departments. We have been approved to provide our newer and mid level machinist with a course on geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) as well as our higher level machinists and programmers an advanced GD&T course that focuses on Quality Assurance and reading blueprints. This will provide our workforce with the skills and knowledge to produce even more complex precision products. Along with that we will be able to provide our programmers with an update on our CAD/CAM software from ESPRIT. We will also be able to round out our knowledge on the admin side by providing our admin team with an HR certification course. This grant will have a great impact on our employees and will allow ARE to retain a competitive edge in our industry. Thank you WWP for your generosity!
A.R.E. Manufacturing, Inc's First annual Diaper Drive
This year ARE chose to host a Diaper Drive for a local organization called A Family Place. This organization is doing great work in our community. They provide diapers to families in need for free. They also offer them many other services to support safe and healthy home lives for the families in our community. We set our goal to diaper one child for a whole year or 3650 diapers. In 6 weeks of collecting through cash donations, amazon gifting and our employee’s contributions we were able to donate a total of 3691 diapers total! We reached our goal and then a few more. Thank you to everyone who participated! A special thank you for A Family Place for the great work you do!
