Pratt & Whitney Contributes $125,000 to Goodwin College Manufacturing Program
Pratt & Whitney’s Vice President of Manufacturing Joe Sylvestro, pictured in photo, presented a check for $125,000 to Goodwin College officials at a ceremony held at the River Street campus on Jan. 16, 2014. The donation is aimed at helping the College grow its Certified Production Technician (CPT) program and in turn support the development of Connecticut’s workforce.
The program, which was established in May of 2013, allows students to earn credentials as Certified Production Technicians (CPTs) from the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council.
“The donation will benefit manufacturers in the state and across the region,” said Sylvestro in his remarks to the audience, which was comprised of recent CPT graduates, their employers, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers members and Pratt & Whitney representatives.
