CAMPS February 2023 Board Report

February News & Updates

Military to Manufacturing (M2M) Opportunity

The CAMPS Military to Manufacturing (M2M) program was asked to sponsor donations of computers from Comcast for the Job Transition Computer Lab. This sponsorship opportunity has allowed us to advertise our companies to 5,000 transitioning military members each year. This is a big increase from the less than 100 military personnel we would work with in prior years. Now, with this new opportunity, we are able to be in front of every military professional that exits the military from JBLM. Our sponsorship has helped us to promote our companies through posters, banners, and other promotional materials. We are promoting the BuildItWA website and plan to place information on it that will guide more M2M candidates to our jobs. We are excited about the potential for future growth that this new opportunity has presented.

 

Support for Manufacturing Training Partners

I recently had conversations with Edmonds College and Clover Park Technical College about promoting their advanced manufacturing programs through our BuildItWA website. We had 2,500 unique visitors to the BuildItWA website last month and thought it would be a great way to direct those visiting our website to their manufacturing training programs in order to further their careers.

The idea is to put a link on the front page of the BuildItWA website that would lead visitors to an information page on the college websites. Both colleges approved the idea and appreciate the marketing and promotional help. Additionally, we could put a link where the employers input their jobs to advertise customized training options for their employees.
