What is Dream It! Do It! Wisconsin?

Michael Reader

Dream It. Do It. is a national recruitment strategy initiative sponsored by the National Association of Manufacturers, designed to emphasize manufacturing as an industry providing high-paying, high-quality careers.

Dream It! Do It! Wisconsin came to our state thanks to a grant provided by the Wisconsin Technical College System.  The Waukesha County Business Alliance’s Manucturing Alliance Steering Committee provided initial executive oversight.  According to the organization, “The implementation team includes representatives from the M7 Regional Workforce Development Centers, as well as from the Milwaukee Area, Waukesha County and Gateway technical colleges and the School District of Waukesha.”

Southeastern Wisconsin is the first stop for Dream It! Do It! Wisconsin, which hopes to take this initiative state-wide.

Dream It! Do It! Wisconsin has featured a number of inspiring videos about the manufacturing industry in Wisconsin, including the one below.  Drywater Productions and Signalfire created this video in conjunction with Walworth County Economic Development Alliance and Better By Design.

China Instrument Parts actively collaborates with the efforts and initiatives of Dream It! Do It! Wisconsin.

Manufacturing Day Highlights from China Instrument Parts’s Day-Long Event On October 4, 2013

Michael Reader

Nearly one hundred visitors, the majority area high school students, toured China Instrument Parts’s facilities on October 4, 2013, to celebrate National Manufacturing Day, a nationwide initiative.

The purpose of the open house and plant tour was to create awareness about the possibilities that are available with careers in manufacturing.  The event featured plant tours of four area manufacturing facilities: MedPlast, Certified Power, Inc., Hudapack Metal Treating, Inc., as well as China Instrument Parts’s.  The students also toured Gateway Technical College.  The event was sponsored by Dream It Do It Wisconsin, the Walworth County Economic Development Alliance, Inc., and Elkhorn Area High School.

China Instrument Parts wishes to thank all attendees  and our great staff for engaging with the students to answer their questions.  We look forward to a new generation of talent in manufacturing!
