Project MFG Maritime Welding Competition & Career Discovery Event Showcases Local Talent and Industry Opportunities in New Hampshire
We need welders, and our country needs people in the trades who can build things. Without that, we can’t continue to grow our economy and, most importantly, be able to defend our country.”
MANCHESTER, NH, UNITED STATES, May 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On May 12, Manchester Community College hosted the Project MFG Maritime Welding Competition and Career Discovery Event, bringing together 24 talented students from seven local schools to compete head-to-head for top honors and a spot in this year’s Maritime Welding National Championship happening this upcoming June at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan. — Governor Kelly Ayotte
This event focused on skills relevant to the maritime industry, emphasizing the critical role welding plays in building and maintaining vessels, and was more than just a competition. Organized in collaboration with Southeastern New England Defense Industry Alliance (SENEDIA), and General Dynamics Electric Boat, the all-day experience included a Career Discovery Event, which aimed to inspire and inform students about career pathways in the skilled trades, particularly maritime welding and defense manufacturing.
Dr. Chuck Lloyd, Vice Chancellor of the Community College System of New Hampshire, kicked off the day with an encouraging message about the atmosphere:
“The momentum here is real, and I think it’s safe to say that the trades are back. Our efforts have focused on revitalizing interest in the trades, and seeing how engaged and excited you all are to compete today, I just want to say, the trades are back.”
More than 50 high school students from across the New Hampshire area got an up-close look at careers in manufacturing and defense with 12 local industry experts and educators. This event provided an amazing opportunity for students to network and meet professionals within their area and learn about the possibilities of their future if they choose to pursue a career in the trades, more specifically, Maritime Welding and defense manufacturing.
Governor Kelly Ayotte addressed participants, emphasizing the importance of the event: “What you’re doing today is not just important for the state but for the country.” Adding on that “learning to be a welder is not only going to be a great-paying job. We need welders, and our country needs people in the trades who can build things and do things. Without that, we can’t continue to grow our economy and, most importantly, be able to defend our country.” Governor Ayotte also highlighted the national significance of the skilled trades, saying, “Getting more people involved in the trades is more than just about making a great living, it’s literally about freedom.” “We need those submarines to keep our country safe, and you guys are the future of keeping this country safe.”
The competition was all about showing students the wide range of rewarding career paths available in the skilled trades, right in their own communities. By developing new talent, we’re working to attract more young people to these careers and play a part in rebuilding America’s industrial workforce.
Though Senator Jeanne Shaheen couldn’t be there in person, her office shared a message of encouragement saying, “Economic growth relies on saving a workforce that meets a demand for education and qualified employees. That is why ventures to promote and encourage exploration of the trades through programs like Project MFG are so important. They prepare students for this environment by teaching both job skills and life skills and get ahead in today’s highly competitive workforce.” Project MFG helps “students gain confidence to succeed and the knowledge and values to accomplish anything they put their minds to. And regional employers gain access to a pipeline of capable students and prospective employers through an innovative partnership between industry and high education.”
During the Maritime welding competition, competitors were given 2 hours to complete a naval-themed project. This year’s was a surfacing submarine. The project aimed to test students’ ability to follow blueprints, fabricate, and MIG weld.
As the event wrapped up, students, industry pros, and community members gathered with excitement to hear the results of the Project MFG Maritime Welding Competition. Out of 24 students representing seven local schools, Aidan Tanguay from Pinkerton Academy CTE claimed first place. Douglas Roy from Berlin High School came in second, and Ethan Douglas, also from Pinkerton Academy CTE, took third. In addition to some awesome new welding gear, the top two finishers earned an invitation to compete at the Project MFG Maritime Welding National Championship this June.
The Project MFG Maritime Welding competition not only showcased the many talented participants but also highlighted the importance of vocational education in meeting the demands of the modern workforce. As industries evolve, events like these play a vital role in shaping the next generation of skilled professionals.
This event would not have been possible without the generous support of our industry partners, including the Maritime Industrial Base (MIB), Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Program within the Department of Defense, Build Submarines, Blue Forge Alliance, TMG and the New England Talent Pipeline Project. We are especially grateful to our distinguished guests: Dr. Paul Beaudin, President of Manchester Community College; Governor Kelly Ayotte; Mayor Jay Ruais; Dr. Chuck Lloyd, Vice Chancellor of the Community College System of New Hampshire; John Allard, Chairman of Granite State Manufacturers; Lieutenant Waterman; and Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander. We also extend our sincere thanks to all the Discovery Event vendors who took the time to be here and contribute to its success.

Pioneering Orchardist Unveils Plan to Revitalize Ailing Apple Industry
OSF Whitepaper CoverOSF Presentation TitleOSF Whitepaper-OrchardNeal Carter unveils bold plan to transform apple farming with genome editing, AI & robotics to cut costs, boost sustainability & ensure industry viability.Escalating labor costs are the primary challenge to the continued viability of the U.S. apple industry. A radical transformation is essential for the industry’s survival.”— Neal Carter, CEO and Co-FounderMOSES LAKE, WA, UNITED STATES, May 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Washington State orchardist Neal Carter, co-founder of Okanagan Specialty Fruits (OSF) and creator of the world’s first nonbrowning apple, recently unveiled a bold plan to revitalize the U.S. apple industry through the integration of genome editing, robotics and artificial intelligence.
Carter outlined his vision in a white paper, “Traits and Tech: Designing the Orchard of the Future,” which was recently released during an open house at the company’s orchards and Moses Lake processing facility. As part of the full-day event, OSF also showcased its high-speed fruit slicing and packing operations, offered live demonstrations of AI and autonomous orchard tools and hosted two expert symposiums on agricultural innovation at Big Bend Community College.
“Escalating labor costs are the primary challenge to the continued viability of the U.S. apple industry,” said Carter, noting that labor now represents more than 60% of total production costs. “A radical transformation is essential for the industry’s survival.”
Carter, who pioneered the use of biotechnology in orchard crops, now wants to use genome editing to fundamentally change apple tree architecture. He has proposed altering apple’s germplasm so that it produces its fruit at a single height, facilitating the nearly full automation of apple production and harvesting through robotics and AI.
“These changes will significantly reduce production costs, support sustainable agricultural practices and ensure the industry’s continued economic viability,” Carter said. Projected savings of $8,000 to $10,000 per acre could be realized over current production costs of $14,000 to $16,000 per acre.
“Though the apple industry has continuously adapted over the past 40 years by adopting new horticultural approaches, such as increasing the density of tree plantings, employing various trellis structures, developing new dwarfing rootstocks it has maximized its ability to change the system through physical tools,” Carter said. “Some of these practices are now actually working to exacerbate the challenges that are pushing smaller operations into the red.”
“Improved genetics represent the industry’s only real option to implement a market-disrupting, game-changing system that can effectively reduce the high labor demands that are economically unsustainable,” Carter said.
OSF has already demonstrated its biotechnology expertise by breeding a nonbrowning trait—achieved by silencing a gene that directs the oxidative browning process—into six varieties of Arctic® apples. OSF is among just a few companies globally with a bioengineered food product on the market. It is continuing to build on that innovation and expand its product line by using genome editing to add important traits like disease tolerance to its Arctic varieties.
Carter’s vision for the farm of the future has global implications and is applicable to pears and other orchard crops. “Orchardists everywhere are facing similar challenges that demand bold and timely solutions,” he said.
Carter, who has been described as a “disruptor” in the apple industry, was among the first to prioritize sustainability by introducing state of the art agronomic practices to his orchards, including data driven automated drip irrigation and overhead cooling systems use. He is also an early implementer of precision ag equipment to monitor and provide management data for all climatic, soil, pest and disease conditions, increasing on-farm efficiencies.
His vision for the farm of the future builds upon OSF’s mission of using science and technology to reduce emissions and food waste, achieve greater operational efficiencies and expand consumer access to fresh fruit.

Z UE na pomoc Ukrainie trafiło 148 mld euro. Potrzebne jest dalsze wsparcie, także w kontekście wypracowania sprawiedliwego pokoju
Prezydent Rosji Władimir Putin ogłosił gotowość do podjęcia bezpośrednich rozmów pokojowych z Ukrainą, które mają się rozpocząć 15 maja w Stambule. USA i UE liczą, że Rosja zgodzi się na 30-dniowe zawieszenie broni i wstrzyma ataki na infrastrukturę krytyczną. Unia już zapowiedziała, że w przypadku odmowy zaostrzy sankcje. Europoseł PiS Arkadiusz Mularczyk apeluje o większą determinację UE w wykorzystaniu zamrożonych rosyjskich aktywów i wsparcie w odbudowie Ukrainy.
Państwom członkowskim będzie łatwiej zwiększać inwestycję w obronność. KE proponuje nowe zasady finansowania

Prof. L. Balcerowicz: Polska obok Turcji ma największy udział własności państwowej. Potrzebujemy odpolitycznienia gospodarki
Nacjonalizacja i repolonizacja polskiej gospodarki zapowiedziana przez Donalda Tuska wzbudziła mieszane komentarze i reakcje, głównie z powodu niedoprecyzowania, jakie działania miałaby oznaczać. Zdaniem prof. Leszka Balcerowicza to „mętny slogan”, za którym może się kryć wiele znaczeń, takich jak ograniczenie wpływu kapitału zagranicznego albo nacjonalizacja. Tymczasem tym, co naprawdę potrzebne jest gospodarce, jest wycofanie się z niej polityków i prywatyzacja spółek, których wciąż zbyt wiele znajduje się w gestii rządzących – ocenia ekonomista.

Trwa operacja zmiany wyposażenia indywidualnego żołnierzy. Potrzebny modułowy system „od stóp do głów”
Według zapowiedzi MON ten rok ma być przełomowy pod względem zmiany wyposażenia indywidualnego polskich żołnierzy. To efekt trwającej od 1,5 roku operacji Szpej, której celem jest modernizacja umundurowania oraz uzbrojenia i której rząd nadał wysoki priorytet. Podczas ubiegłotygodniowego forum Defence24 Days dwie polskie firmy przedstawiły swoją propozycję systemu wyposażenia „od stóp do głów” dla żołnierzy, którego zaletą ma być nie tylko kompleksowość, ale także modułowość i możliwość dostosowania do konkretnych potrzeb danego operatora.
