 AUBURN HILLS – German automotive supplier Brose didn’t generate $6.5 billion in sales last year by relying on second-rate help.
For generations, Brose, parent company of Brose North America headquartered in Auburn Hills, has trained its 24,000-employee, highly skilled workforce using the touted German apprenticeship method. The concept is simple: Trainees alternate between classroom instruction and on-the-job training at a private company, gaining both practical and technical skills to compete in a global market.
Now, this time-tested program is gaining momentum in Michigan and helping to fill the pipeline with new, highly skilled talent.
Officially known as Michigan Advanced Technician Training (MAT2), the program is designed by the state’s Talent Investment Agency (TIA). The aim is to address Michigan’s skills gaps in manufacturing by partnering high schools with community colleges and local employers. That is done by offering students apprenticeships that provide a path toward earning tuition-free associate degrees while simultaneously getting paid to gain on-the-job work experience in high-paying, high-demand manufacturing careers.
“Michigan has made tremendous economic progress, but we want that success to continue long into the future,” said Dave Murray, communications director for the Michigan Department of Talent and Economic Development. “We know that businesses locate or expand where they have access to talent. MAT2 is an example of one program that brings the business community and educators together so students get the education they need along with real-world, in-demand skills.”
Murray says the initiative is designed to address a historical phenomenon. “For too many years, Michigan parents had to watch their children leave the state to find jobs. Our tech and manufacturing sectors are growing, and will be vitally important as we continue as the national leader in autonomous and connected vehicles. That’s why programs like MAT2 are effective. Students are gaining the skills that are leading directly to jobs in the companies where they are being trained.” To learn more about MAT2 and how you can participate, please visit: http://mitalent.org/mat2
When Greg Woodside saw his American Axle & Manufacturing colleague Brian Arpke driving a new Subaru Impreza, he had one question – when were they going to rally cross
“I didn’t know what it was at first, but those initial experiences had me hooked,” said Arpke, who is a benchmarking engineer at AAM. “It’s just an indescribable thrill you get when you’re out there making these tight turns at high speeds, dirt and gravel spitting from the tires. We really just have a blast.”
Based in Detroit, AAM is a global supplier to the automotive industry, developing advanced driveline and drivetrain systems and related components. Arpke and Woodside work at AAM’s Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), a newly renovated facility occupied by the company’s advanced engineering team that is located near AAM’s headquarters.
As a benchmark engineer, Arpke must be on top of the latest trends in technology and know what the competitive landscape looks like.
Along with Woodside, he also serves as a driver for hot and cold weather testing, traveling to test tracks in Northern Michigan and the Southwestern region of the United States.
Woodside, a lifelong race fan, is a member of the Advanced Engineering Team, helping to coordinate and build the demonstration vehicles equipped with advanced technology. These test vehicles are used to further develop products, evaluate performance and show customers how the technology functions.
“I have the best job here because basically I play in the garage every day,” he said. “There really isn’t a typical day. Sometimes we’re at the track, sometimes we’re out West for hot weather testing. There are also a couple of months each year we spend in Northern Michigan doing winter testing.
“Sometimes I’m getting greasy, dirty under the car with the guys, sometimes I’m at a desk doing computer work. Every day is fresh and there’s something new.”.
