In New Hampshire, where New Hampshire Ball Bearings, Inc. (NHBB) is based, the manufacturing industry is less popular than other fields, and recruiting personnel with high-level technical skills is therefore a great challenge. For this reason, we conduct initiatives in collaboration with the community, accept university student interns, and arrange work experience, which we will continue moving forward in order to nurture human resources for the future.

For example, each year, New Hampshire Manufacturing Week is held state-wide through collaboration between the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), in which I also act as an advisor, and state education and economic departments.

During Manufacturing Week, manufacturers including NHBB conduct plant tours and other activities for junior high and high school students.

Through these efforts, we hope to make students aware of the wide range of products being manufactured, and also offer opportunities for them to discuss their possible career path* in the manufacturing industry. This program was started by NHBB's Laconia Plant but it was quickly adopted as a state-wide program.

In FY2016, NHBB welcomed visits by 1,850 students from 44 schools during Manufacturing Week. Furthermore, in fiscal 2017, the program will be held on a much larger scale, and Manufacturing Week will be expanded to Manufacturing Month.
