Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
Steel Market Update is dedicated to assist the greater steel community to attract and maintain young people to the industry. The SMU NexGen Leadership Award, which is in partnership with the Steel Manufacturers Association, is but one step in the process that was begun many years ago. Our Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market Fundamentals Workshop and Steel 201: Introduction to Advanced High Strength & Other New Steels Workshops were begun to assist in training those new to the industry, as well as those who were already in the industry but wanted to learn more in order to continue to progress and grow within their company.
I want to thank Phil Bell, president of the Steel Manufacturers Association, for stepping forward to partner with Steel Market Update on the SMU NexGen Leadership Award. We believe having the electric arc steel producers behind this award is quite significant and a sign to the industry of their support for bringing and keeping youth in manufacturing, distribution and steel mill jobs.
