Workforce Development 

In an effort to address the growing workforce need in the corrosion field, the NACE Foundation has adopted “Workforce Development” as one of its premiere programs.  The first phase of this program will focus on military veterans and their families and will include both job training and placement.

• NACE International to train appropriate military personnel that counsel outgoing officers and enlistees on the merits, possibilities and options in the field of corrosion.
• NACE will create a mentoring program among NACE Sections and individual members to work with veterans.
• NACE Sections and Areas will be engaged to assist with geographic placements.
• NACE Foundation will provide scholarships to cover training and education.
• NACE Foundation and the mentor assigned to the individual will assist with locating part-time employment and/or internships.
• Assistance with final job placement once training/education is complete.·      

The NACE Foundation realizes that there are many agencies that assist the military on a temporary basis when they leave the service, but a plan needs to be in place that will help them sustain themselves after receiving the temporary assistance. A recession proof career in corrosion is one dynamic way in which to sustain a healthy and vibrant lifestyle. 

Join us and help our returning heroes take their place once again in our society as valued members of the workforce, helping to mitigate corrosion  Make a donation today!
