Form V: Project Narrative

I. Statement of Need

a. Need to be addressed by Project: The workforce development programs at the college

have grown substantially in the last decade as the surrounding area has transformed itself from a

rural agricultural based economy to an integral part of the Southern Automotive Corridor and the

larger manufacturing sector. The comprehensive program offerings in the area of advanced

manufacturing have provided an avenue for substantial growth in the programs that will provide

a skilled workforce for new, existing, and expanding industry in the North Alabama region

served by Wallace State. In Workforce Region II, manufacturing has the highest number of

workforce employed at 58,386, and while some areas have experienced workforce reductions in

manufacturing areas, our area has been able to sustain our workforce, while also expanding.

The Workforce Region 2 report from the University of Alabama reflects over 84,300

people are underemployed in the area and that the population will grow by over 11% by 2018.

While the Regional report builds on labor market data and trends, perhaps the best indicator of

economic and job growth is new and expanding industries locating to the area. Within the

Region 2 area, Cullman County is experiencing sustained and continued expansions in the

manufacturing areas. The following are strong indicators of the workforce needs within the next

12-24 months.

Topre America, metal stamping, $109 million expansion has been recently completed

with 250 jobs project and 100 already in process/production;

REHAU, automotive manufacturing, $102 million expansion, with a workforce of 80

employed and an additional 50 in production;

Cullman Yutaka – $12 million expansion with 60 new jobs in production / robotics and

welding;

There are two additional companies with planned expansions, including the purchase of

an existing building, which will produce 35 additional jobs and another with the potential

of 400 jobs over two years;

ZeroRPM, a green energy start-up company will employ 50 workers in electronics

production, once fully operational within the next twelve months; and

The expansion of the Folsom Field runway will also provide industrial area growth

around the municipal airport.

Wallace State - Hanceville

Injection Molding Workforce Initiative

In order for Wallace State –Hanceville to meet the demand for a highly skilled workforce

in this sector, programs must expand training opportunities and equip graduates with marketable

skills and training on the most current technology. The tables below depict not only the Region

2 projected workforce needs, but also those for the state of Alabama. It is clear that the need for

the workforce will soon outpace the supply of graduates/completers.

The Injection Molding Workforce Initiative will provide Wallace State workforce education

programs with the funding required to add the additional instructional equipment to offer this

program, providing students with industry program certification, technical currency and

graduates with industry recognized certifications. Injection molding is a growing field in our

region, and the short-term program can be offered as a stand-alone program or as an additional

certification within the existing advanced manufacturing programs of machine tool – computer

numerical control, tool and die, and electronics/automation/industrial maintenance. A skilled

workforce in this area will serve as an industry recruitment tool, and enable students to achieve

professional industry certification such as NATEF, NCCER, and NIMS. Recent feedback from

the Wallace State business and industry advisory committee members revealed a need to expand

the current program to better meet industry needs and standards.

c. Businesses/Organizations for Job Placement: There are numerous

businesses/organizations in the Region 2 area that would benefit from the increase in graduates

from the targeted program. A sample of these include: Rehau, Topre America, Cullman Yutaka,

Royal Technologies, General Dynamics and ZeroRPM. Once the program is operational, the

goal of Wallace State is to begin an apprenticeship program with the industries in the area.

Turn Key and Start-up Support

BOY is excited to announce a special offer for our customers considering the purchase of a new BOY injection-molding machine. The “Turn key and Start-up Support” Program is an excellent way to insure that your machine will be producing quality parts with minimum effort. This is also a great opportunity for customers that are new to molding.

How does the program work?

You provided BOY with your materials. BOY will assemble the complete unit in our factory in Exton, PA. Up to three (3) days, our Process Engineer will demonstrate the work cell and provide process training and support to your staff. After everyone is satisfied, the entire work cell is disassembled and shipped to you. One of our field service technicians will then reassemble the work cell and assist in the startup and training with your staff. You only need to provide the utilities and rigging, if necessary.

What is included with this Program?

Your “Turn key and Start-up Support” includes the following…

• Up to 2 days of assembly, connection and integration of peripheral equipment, and testing of the work cell. This also includes any standard fittings, hoses and other miscellaneous hardware required.

• Up to 3 days of process troubleshooting, training your staff on the process and tooling details.

• Up to 2 days of “on-site” installation support, reconnection of peripheral equipment, and training your staff on basic maintenance and operation of the machine.

What is the cost of this Program?

Each turnkey is different based on the needs of the customer. We are happy to provide your price based on your project. Normally, the cost is approximately 10% of the total package price.

Who will benefit from this program?

Everyone! This program supports the full range of molders. If you are a new molder, with no experience, and are looking to expand the range of your business, BOY Machines can help you from start to finish. Even if you only have an idea of a part that you want to produce, we can help you make that idea a reality.

If you are an experienced molder who would rather have a completely tested work cell delivered to your factory, BOY Machines can help! Why waste your time and resources to troubleshoot the work cell and run off. With this program, the amount of time it takes to have the machine in full production is significantly reduced. BOY understands that in production, time is money!

Dear Dr. Brabham:

This letter is in support of the Injection Molding Manufacturing Workforce Initiative project at

Wallace State – Hanceville. As members of Cullman Area Workforce Solutions, our industries

play a critical role in: 1) identifying the knowledge, skills, and abilities required by high growth

occupations in our respective industries; 2) inventorying existing training opportunities for the

workforce and the gaps of these programs; 3) assisting with the design, goals, and programs

offered by Wallace State, and 4) employment of hiring/advancing qualified completers/graduates

of the advanced manufacturing training programs offered by Wallace State.

The project proposed by Wallace State is essential to sustaining a trained workforce, while also

planning for future growth and expansions at our respective companies. The investment in training

equipment proposed is needed to establish an injection molding training program within the

advanced manufacturing programs including electronics/industrial maintenance, machine

tool/CNC/tool and die, and automotive manufacturing technology. Each of these programs play a

vital role in the training and education of our production workforce, and we support the acquisition

of the training equipment and workforce programs that this project will offer to our current and

future workforce in the area.

We commend Wallace State-Hanceville in their efforts to develop unique learning options for the

future and current workforce in our area. A skilled and educated workforce is essential to meet our

industry demands and remain competitive in today’s dynamic and changing business environment.
