Super exciting news. New Way Strategies has been named a finalist for the @C_and_E Reed Awards in TWO CATEGORIES for direct mail work we produced for the South Windsor (CT) Democrats this past year!!

Couldn't have done this without Phil Langin at @CTBusinesslink!

Previous experience of my newest 12 manufacturing hires:

- donut shop worker
- accounting assistant
- elderly caregiver
- janitor
- bartender
- AI data analyst
- call center rep
- nurse at the VA
- associate at Dollar Tree
- hospitality associate (?)
- school custodian
- graphic designer

I'm asked all the time about "how will manufacturers find skilled labor as we scale and reshore" and the answer is we have to create it ourselves. Relying on someone else (a school, the government) to create skilled labor for you means you're gonna be waiting a while. Just do it yourself.

On-the-job training is the only way I've ever known how to hire. I think I was really lucky to come from a small town where OJT was common, and often the only way to learn how to do something.

We have a 19 year old running a $1M Matsuura MAM, and a 70 year old running another machine next to him. Both produce great parts. The labor supply is endless if you are willing to put in the effort.
