The Technical Career Pathways for Rural Manufacturing project is developing a program to raise awareness and interest in computer aided drafting, machining, and electronics technician careers and prepare students with the critical skills necessary to enter the workforce and pursue higher education to be better positioned for successful careers in the manufacturing sector. This project will provide unique educational opportunities and pathways for rural communities with large populations of underrepresented and first-generation college students.The goals of this project are to create and deliver a program that develops entry-level Mechanical CADD technicians and Electro-mechanical technicians and to generate student interest and participation in manufacturing education and careers. This project is meeting these goals by: 1) developing and delivering online courses in employability skills, CADD and Blueprint reading, 3D modeling, and Introduction to Engineering Design; 2) developing and delivering summer skill academies in machining and electronics; 3) recruiting and retaining underrepresented students from participating schools in Northcentral Idaho and Southeastern Washington; and, 4) delivering structured career counseling and mentoring. The unique hybrid model of online and in person CTE delivery of technical and soft skills identified through a skills inventory will greatly enhance our knowledge of evidence based workforce development practices.

农村制造业技术职业途径项目正在制定一项计划，以提高对计算机辅助绘图，机加工和电子技术人员职业的认识和兴趣，并为学生提供进入劳动力市场和接受高等教育所需的关键技能，以便更好地为制造业的成功职业做好准备。该项目将为农村社区提供独特的教育机会和途径，这些社区有大量代表性不足的第一代大学生。该项目的目标是创建和提供一个培养入门级机械CADD技术人员和机电技术人员的计划，并激发学生对制造业教育和职业的兴趣和参与。该项目通过以下方式实现这些目标：1）开发和提供就业技能，CADD和蓝图阅读，3D建模和工程设计介绍的在线课程; 2）开发和提供机械加工和电子的暑期技能学院; 3）从爱达荷州和华盛顿东南部的参与学校招募和留住代表性不足的学生;以及，4）提供结构化的职业咨询和指导。通过技能清单确定的技术和软技能的在线和亲自CTE交付的独特混合模式将大大提高我们对基于证据的劳动力发展实践的了解。
