💡 Investing in the future of manufacturing starts with supporting the next generation of talent. At Yaskawa Motoman, we’re passionate about creating real opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience in robotics. Since launching our internship program in 2022, we’ve seen firsthand how impactful early career experiences can be—turning students into skilled professionals who drive innovation. Through our partnership with FastLane MEP and the incredible support of April Vanover, we’ve been able to expand our reach, connect with more schools, and provide meaningful work experiences for students like Ayden Tudor. What started as an internship turned into a full-time career, proving the power of workforce development. FASTLANE-MEP has been instrumental in supporting our program—not just by helping us grow our network, but also by securing funding that allows us to invest in young talent. Their support ensures that students are given the tools, resources, and mentorship needed to thrive in manufacturing. 🎥 Hear from Shannon Oyler, PHR and Ayden Tudor as they share how this program is changing lives and shaping the future of robotics.
