The NIMS Student Summit at IMTS 2008 combines an interactive Career Development Center with a dynamic self-guided tour of the nation's greatest technology and manufacturing exhibition.
Sponsored by AMT-The Association For Manufacturing Technology along with the NIMS, the event's main goal is to generate interest and incite enthusiasm in young people for precision manufacturing through contact with industry professionals and state-of-the-art technology. Instructors can have their students witness emerging technologies that will be the future platform for precision manufacturing.
Student Friendly Exhibitors
The NIMS Student Summit will feature the return of Student Friendly Exhibitors, bringing the classroom into the center of the world of advanced manufacturing technology. Students will have the ability to interact with IMTS exhibitor personnel, ask questions about career opportunities and the skill sets required for entrance into the precision manufacturing industry. Examples of Student Friendly Exhibitors for 2008 include Haas Automation, Agie Charmilles, L.S. Starrett, Tooling U, and Mastercam.
Career Development Center
The Career Development Center (CDC) will be the focal point of the NIMS Student Summit.
As part of the CDC, all students will experience an event orientation during which they will learn about what they can expect during their visit, how their IMTS experiences will relate to future career opportunities in the industry, and they will also hear from successful, young professionals in the industry.
The CDC will feature interactive exhibits from colleges and universities, companies and company human resource representatives, and industry associations.
Continuous door prizes, a group photo opportunity, and both student and instructor challenges will bring excitement to the CDC while the Career Resource CD-ROM, given to each student, as well as the exhibits will provide students and educators with important industry-related career information.
Students Bring Your Resume - New in 2008, graduating high school and college students may bring their resumes, including contact information, to the CDC to drop-off for participating companies to review for entry-level job openings. Educators bringing groups of students will be given more details about this exciting opportunity prior to IMTS.
