NACE Detroit Section Academic Scholarship
Event Pictures
The NACE Detroit Section held its 7th Annual Vendor Show at The Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan on Wednesday, April 16th, 2014 This all day event showcased nineteen vendors and was attended by more than ninety attendees. Highlights for the day included presentations by Neil Thompson, president of the NACE Foundation, and U.S. Army Captain Nick Anderson. Captain Anderson spoke on behalf of U.S. military veterans about the difficulties they encounter re-entering civilian life, and in applying their military skills to the civilian workforce. In an effort to address this growing issue, the NACE Detroit Section is working with the NACE Foundation to provide training and mentors to military veterans who will eventually join the corrosion industry workforce. Neil Thompson’s presentation highlighted the NACE Foundation Workforce Development Program for veterans, as well as other programs that benefit the future workforce and leaders in our industry. |

Mission Detroit
In 2014, the NACE International Detroit Section worked with the NACE Foundation Workforce Development Program to create "Mission Detroit."
The Mission Detroit program funded 13 U.S.
veterans allowing them to attend a NACE
Cathodic Protection (CP) Level 1 Tutorial
followed by a NACE CP 1 level course.
Section and corporate sponsorships funded
the course tuition and all associated travel
and living expenses. The course was held
September 27 to October 3, 2014 at Fort
Custer in Augusta, Michigan. A job fair was
also held during the course in which
corrosion and utility companies provided
job opportunities for those in attendance.
While it took a lot of work from many people to make this a success, special thanks go to NACE Foundation Program Manager Heather Lowry and Detroit Section Trustee NACE INTERNATIONAL: VOL. 54, NO. 2 Frank Rampton for their tireless efforts. As a result, certifications were achieved and hirings have taken place.
In the past, the Workforce Development Program had provided for individual veteran attendance in existing CP 1 and Coating Inspector Program (CIP) Level 1 classes. This concept was the first where a class of all veterans was held. NACE Past President Kevin Garrity was the lead instructor. He says, "Leading the Workforce Development course was one of the most humbling experiences of my career."
