Albany International Corporation likes to say it makes paper smoother, tissue softer, and aircrafts lighter. It takes a high level of competency to make fabrics, belts, and other components do that. In order to ensure its many advanced manufacturing techniques are mastered by a new generation of employees, it’s taking on an additional goal: making the workforce stronger.
When Albany International moved from Albany, NY to Rochester, NH in 2010, the company recognized the need to be an active participant in its new community. Its role in helping educate the children of employees and the seacoast workforce was not lost on company leaders.
A partnership with UNH that supports teacher training in math and science is funded by Albany International, with specific support going directly to the Rochester school district as well. CEO Joe Morone hopes that other business leaders will embrace this approach in their own school districts.
In addition to supporting teachers, Albany International also takes on interns and opens its doors to students for job shadowing.
Albany International’s efforts are making our students smarter, our workers experienced, and our economy more vibrant.
