 Wonderful. Thank you so much, Laurie. Thank you all for being here and taking time to learn a little bit about our program and our training over here. I hope this will be useful and hopefully a little interactive more towards the end. I do want to introduce my colleague here. I have Maria with me. Sorry, we had some technical issues, so we'll be joining together and trying to share the screen, but Maria is my colleague. She is a past student and graduate of our training program. And she is also currently our CNC training co-instructor. So she will be speaking a little bit about her experience with the training and offering some of her own insight as well. I will go ahead. I'm going to share my screen with you all. Just one moment. Excuse me. Okay. So to start, I would like to give a little bit of context into human made as a whole to give a little bit of physical and relational perspective. As we discussed the training of what that actually looks like here on site. So we will start with just an introduction. So human made is San Francisco's first advanced manufacturing training center. We do have the most extensive and open access design fabrication and prototyping facilities here on site. We are a combination of a training facility, a manufacturing facility, and a prototyping facility where we have folks who are either attending our training as students. We have members who also utilize the maker space as a whole and really come together as a community across both so within human made as a whole in the training. Our mission is really to empower our community and help uplift our community to engage in the manufacturing sector. And to bring more equitable access to facilities such as this and the training skills and tools that come along with that. So we'll go ahead and take a look, just to give an idea of what we actually look like. So here you can see our main maker space. This is our community area. Within here we have a computer bank where students members staff can access all of the software. That's really important in designing and manufacturing. We also have some shared workspaces so this is where our community really comes together. We have again students who work on their own projects. We have members who come in who are building their own businesses. We have folks who come in as hobbyists and are working on their own interests. And this is where all of that happens. We see our community really join in this space and we see a lot of collaboration. A lot of innovation so folks are working on incredible world changing products and materials here. And we get to witness that together and also see across different businesses and spaces folks really supporting each other. Continuing to educate and collaborate and problem solve together to make those things happen. Within this space we also have a full textile area. So we have industrial sewing machines. We have a silk screen station. We have a vinyl cutter. We have a 3D printing bank out there as well as a laser cutting station. You can see it in the back. You can't see it as well. But we have two large laser cutters back there as well. So a lot of different things happening up here. All of this is open to our students and our members. And then moving here we also have a full metal shop. So you can see the two pictures on the left right there. And then on the right hand side we have a little bit of a snapshot of our wood shop. So we have a full wood shop on site as well. With the lathe, table saws. And then on the right hand side we have a little bit of a snapshot of our wood shop. We have a full wood shop on site as well. With the lathe, table saws. Two large shop machines which are CNC machines for wood. We do offer workshops and classes in both of these areas as well to create some fundamental training across skills and materials. So going a little bit into the training itself. So the next generation manufacturing training is a workforce development program that's housed in human aid. So we work with community members in San Francisco and Alameda County to really help prepare them for careers in the manufacturing sector. Our goal with this program is again to create equitable access to training and skill building and professional development. We are very, very committed to creating a more diverse and inclusive manufacturing sector in the Bay Area. So this training is specifically designed to do that and to equip individuals who have no experience at all in manufacturing with the skills that are going to set them up for success in entry level positions in the manufacturing sector. So as far as eligibility for our training, the main requirements are 18 years and older so we currently cannot accept adolescents or children into the program that we hope to expand that shortly in the future. We also accept students who are residents of San Francisco and Alameda counties, again really hoping to expand that in the future but we're just not quite there yet. And then all of our students are low income to extremely low income. As a workforce development program we are geared towards helping folks become more financially independent and have sustainable careers. So our students overall aside from that criteria really represent our communities. We have a very diverse population of students and graduates across many different lines. So our students come from various backgrounds, experiences, goals. I think currently about 73% of our students identify as BIPOC, 30% identify as female, 9% identify as gender non-binary. We have students from the reentry population, students who are veterans, students who are immigrants or refugees. So we really are committed to serving the actual community that we exist within. So the training itself just logistically is it's a three month training so 12 week sessions. We have new trainings that start every three months. So our upcoming training is beginning in January, January 17, and it will end in April. There's no cost to the training all materials, all tuition everything is provided on site. We have students daily meals for all of our students as well. Students have the choice between the CNC machining or the additive 3D printing class. So, CNC machining which Maria can probably share a little more information about than me, but it is our computer numerical control machining. We do CNC machining with metal. A lot of our product is done with aluminum, and students will learn how to operate the computer software required to transfer the design to the actual CNC machine to create a final product. Do you have anything you want to add to that? Yeah, that is very true. It's like you actually go from concept to something tangible you are taking a piece of metal, or actually you are learning a bit of CAD, where you draw and sketch out the design that you're going to cut out. You're going to learn to cam, which is you figure out the tool paths in which you're going to cut out the metal from because you're, you know, you just can't plow through a piece of metal with, you know, without knowing that kind of, I guess that instruction. And then finally you actually machine your part and you come out from a raw piece of material to basically a part. Yes. That's the NC machine. And then with 3D printing it is very similar actually so students will learn how to design within the software, troubleshoot within the software and transfer their design their vision into a final product with the 3D printing machine. So students get really well rounded training in those skills, as well as troubleshooting, operating and maintaining the equipment and reading blueprints. So, kind of a cross the board skills required for a lot of the entry level positions that our students obtain. And then finally we do also support students in taking the auto desk certification exam. So this is more of an industry recognized certificate that students can receive either in the CNC machining side or the 3D printing We primarily support this by offering some preparation throughout the training study materials, as well as funding the exam if students choose to take it and helping with the logistics of scheduling it on site here if necessary or helping students access testing sites. So here I've just included a few examples of our student projects. So all of the projects on this screen are from the CNC machining class, and they've all been completed by our students so you see they've made dice. So here's a wrench, as well as a bucket. Yeah, which is the part, like if you were to find in the real world or if you were to, I guess go into working as a machinist you know you would make parts this doesn't it's not actually a real part for something, but it's something like it. So you can see some examples of the student projects from the 3D printing class so we've, you know we try to keep the skills really diverse so from making parts that have moving pieces, and that needs to be really well fitting to parts that are aesthetically pleasing and and accurate. So for me my side or role in in this training program is as the client support and outreach coordinator so the next generation manufacturing training really takes a holistic and individualized approach to promoting career success. I recognize that there's much more to obtaining employment than just the hard skills, as well as there are a lot of challenges or systemic barriers that present themselves in different ways for folks as they're pursuing a career so my job is to work with students on that We do a lot of work on resume and cover letter writing designing professional portfolios so all of our students will create their own portfolio of their own work throughout the training to carry on and present with them as they move forward in their careers. We prepare for interviews, as well as other job readiness activities communication, things of that nature. And then ongoing barrier mitigation and case management so I meet with each student regularly, usually weekly to discuss things that may be coming up outside of the training or within life. Either are challenging or creating some strain and attending the training or just hindering student well being so case management can range from housing resources to financial resources, obtaining medications or mental health support. Or accessing childcare. And then following the completion of the training students will receive employment placement assistance. So we help to keep students updated regularly with employment opportunities in the community. And help them to complete the application process, as well as advocate for them with employers. We also continue to follow up with our students for a full year after they graduate. So even if a student has obtained employment will continue to check in, make sure that they have all of the support that they need to continue to be successful to continue to feel satisfied in their employment and and make sure that we're a part of that process with them. So here are a few examples of some of the companies. Excuse me, that have hired our students. So you can see, you know, a diverse set of companies here we have human made, I believe is up there so we've hired a few of our own students to carry on with education and instruction. We have students with cocoa taps for example, who have created a sustainable way to consume coconut water with less package packaging. That's much more ecologically friendly. So changing, changing expectations around product packaging. Students with smoke design solutions who do amazing work with consumer and client specific products. So they work on a very wide variety of products, depending on the demand of their clients. Those are a few there we also have a student recently who's started working for Doher Marine. And this is a company who is doing deep marine or creating products for deep marine exploration and research and monitoring. So they work on robotics and monitoring devices to continue exploring all of the potential in our marine life. And with that, I will pass it over to Maria for just a moment to go ahead and just share a little bit about her experience with the training. Anything that you know she she's felt either during the training or since completing the training. So yes, I will hand it over to you Maria. Hello. Oh my gosh, that was a surprise I just didn't know about this slide. But anyway, I guess, just a little bit about me and there's probably a little bit. I came here and took the class because actually because of a career change, you know, I was unfortunate that I was laid off from my job of being there for a very, very long time, which I had loved. But they had relocated down to LA. And then I found this program. Even I was in this program. I started in September of 2009 2019 I believe, and even within the past two years it has really developed what the students are learning now, which I was in the CNC cohort for the thing is, I learned a little bit of cat I learned a little bit of cam I did some machining. And now I see as being a co teacher, which is very interesting is like learning actually the fundamentals of being a CNC machinist or to be in the machinist industry. So they get to learn how to do things like a tramming device making sure it's straight, even edge finding, making sure like your coordinates of where you're going to where your part is going to start to cut and all that kind of stuff where that those are just like fundamental things that machinist should know where I didn't know at first and now I'm I too I'm still learning. Not only that they get to learn how to use the CNC tour mock, but they also learn how to use we also have a manual mill so that's also like right before. The machine maker CNC machining is computer numeric control manual mills are the same thing, but it's prior to that kind of computer technology it's more the way if you look at the picture that's a manual mill, and the way that it is controlled is like an etch to sketch so you're you're actually turning the left the levers one for X one for why and one for Z and and also learning how to use the metal shop, just like handles in general and just for them for students to get comfortable in. And even with that. And also as Amber had mentioned there's a wood shop there's laser cutters there's 3D printers. There's an industrial like industrial sewing so the students do have access to that as well, which is kind of a nice thing to be able to, you know, be in this kind of place where there are creatives. So it's yeah it's a really like it's a very positive experience and like I was lucky enough or you know like I said the stars had aligned that night only I'm like I was able to like discover this place and take the training, but also to be able to have the opportunity to work here. And now again, assisting with the CNC students which is like I've never thought about it before but it's so like it's so it's it's refreshing and it's like it's oh I don't know what the word is, but it's always very at the tip of my tongue that it's like, I feel a lot of pain with it right now but sorry about that but. But yeah, gratify, you know, and it's just great to help people. Okay, and that's it. That was always awesome to hear. One thing actually and I'm really grateful that you brought this up again Maria that I realized I skipped over, but part of continuing to promote the success of our students and to really continue their career development and upskilling is that all of our students, once they graduate they receive a full year membership with the the makerspace as a whole. And that includes access to free workshops so if students take the CNC class and they, you know, would like to learn more about woodworking to diversify their skill set. They have access to those workshops and that support continuing on after their graduation as well. And then it's as far as applying so anyone who is interested is always welcome to apply or reach out. There are multiple ways to do this. The most probably efficient way is to visit our website and to complete an inquiry form. So those responses come directly to us, and we will then reach out via email to welcome folks in for a tour and info session and then we can support them in completing the application from there if they're continued to be interested. Folks can also email us directly at next gen applications at human made.org. That also comes to us. But it is helpful to have the inquiry form as well. And then anyone who has questions or is interested is also welcome to call us directly. I have our phone number there. And I will also share these slides with Lori. At the end so everybody has access to them afterwards. And then with that I will open it up for any questions that folks have or comments or things that maybe we didn't cover. So yes, I will hand it back over to you Lori. Yes, we have a couple of questions from chat. The first question is from Dave. How would you compare human mate to tech shop, which used to be in menopark and I think someone Cisco. Yes, yes, thank you that's a great question it's one that comes up often. So I, I was not involved in tech shop so I am a little limited in how I answer this but I will do my best. So human made was really designed and developed with the mission to be different than traditional maker spaces. So, there was a historical model that maker spaces were built upon that's that served members, they serve members and they, they, they, sorry, I'm trying to think about how to best answer this question. Yes, historically were created to provide certain types of training and spaces and we're built upon community and collaboration, but weren't always accessible to all folks. So it was really designed to take the best part of that, and to spread it out and bring in this additional piece of training and equity and access. So it, it has some pieces of traditional maker spaces with the addition of building upon reaching our community being an active member in our community, and really bolstering the economic sustainability within our communities here. So I hope that that answered your question. Thank you, Amber. Question from Linda. How, how do you compare, how do you compare to the junior college programs. Yes, so we. That's it's a little bit of a challenging question. So it depends on the track that the student is on. So the classes themselves that folks can take to learn. You know, a skill or an area. We are similar in a lot of regards with more focus on the hands on training as well as the soft skill development and barrier mitigation. So we bring in a little bit more of a holistic aspect to rapid training. If a student were on the path to a certification or a degree in a certain type of design or manufacturing, we are against similar but on a fast track so we're focused on intensive wrap around training to get people set up for entry into the manufacturing sector quickly. Thank you so much, Amber. Question from Margaret. How many days. Each week. Do you students need to come for the training. Fantastic question Margaret thank you. I can't believe I missed that. Yes, so our training is Monday to Friday. So we have the CNC and 3D printing run side by side. So we have the CNC machining class Monday to Friday, 10am to 330pm so it's about four and a half hours every day. And then we have the 3D printing again Monday to Friday from 5pm to 930pm. Great, thank you so much. Another question from Dave. Who provides funding for human made to offer this training free to students. Yes, so we are a nonprofit workforce development agency so our funding comes from a variety of sources. And that would be through grants through the community here. We've worked with various organizations who have contributed to the training and provided financial funding as well so it comes from a variety of locations. Which of the employers you mentioned have higher students who completed your additive 3D printing training program. Yes, so a few of them and I'll actually I'll go back to that slide just to see. So we've had a few of them we've had it swap design solutions has hired for 3D printing leave cocoa taps as well. So far ocean has worked with us intrinsic tempo tempo automation as well. And a lot of these companies tend to have multiple manufacturing processes or skills so they may hire from the CNC and the 3D printing track depending on what they need support with at that time. Thank you. Question from this. Did you say you only serve residents of San Francisco and Alameda counties. I live in San Mateo County. Yes, so unfortunately right now because we are a younger program. We are limited to residents in San Francisco and Alameda counties. We're really hoping to be able to expand that out and open it to residents of other communities in the future. But we're just we're not quite there yet so hopeful and definitely will make sure that people are informed when we are able to open it up further. Thank you question from seal. Can you do both CNC and 3D. Yes, that's a that's a great question that comes up often. So we tend to not have students cross from one training to another or to take both. The main reason for that being that we want to increase access for more folks to come in and to get the fundamental skills. We are limited with space. So right now we can take in about 20 students per training. So we want to be able to bring in as many people as possible. However, with that being said, there are some processes that are similar between the two. So both trainings will receive instruction in the fusion 360 software. So taking one training will provide some skills for another for the other training, and then paired with one of our workshops that are, you know open in the main maker space will provide a pretty good foundation for being able to use either. We tend to not have students take repeated trainings. Got it. Thank you so much. Question from Margaret. How do students who have no experience decide which program to enroll. Yes. So sometimes they don't. One great way to approach that is we always welcome students in first before they apply. So we can show them more of the equipment, the products. Sometimes they're able to meet the instructors. And that tends to give much more perspective on if somebody's really drawn to one or the other. As I said, there are times that we have students who are interested in either one. And that's totally okay. And we will work to get them in where space is most available. And we do try to get students into the training that if they are drawn to one or the other. We try to get them into that one. Again, there are times that students are really short and that's okay. Okay, thank you so much, Amber. That's all the question I see in chat. If anyone who has other question, please feel free to put in chat or unmute yourself and ask the question. And if we don't have more question. And then I like to thank my guests, Amber and Maria. Thank you so much for taking the time to. Oh, I have a question from Dave. How many students have gone through the program. More question. Yes. Yes. So we have had completed students. We have had about 137 students who have gone through the program. And with that we have about 69% have been employed and 49% in the manufacturing sector. Okay, great. I'm sorry, Linda, you should be able to unmute now I accidentally uncheck that box. Linda, you can go ahead and ask your question. Thank you. No, I was just because I do have a factory and I'm trying to figure out how to hire some of these but we look we're looking for maintenance technicians. So not necessarily machinist just in people that can service our machines and definitely they had with knowledge in a little bit of welding. Okay, would you be the site to look at or Yeah, that would be fantastic so we are always looking to also serve our manufacturers and our companies and agencies within the community. And, you know, our students have a wide variety of skills and abilities that they leave here with so that would, that would definitely be something we would be interested in discussing and trying to connect you with some candidates. Great, because I'm also on the Chabot junior college advisory board for their tech program. Oh, and that's what the one of the things that we're always looking for the soft skills in employees and also a little bit of welding and the equipment. Fantastic. Yes, Linda let's, let's try to connect. I will, I'm going to put my direct email in the chat as well for everyone. So that if you have questions that come up after you can also reach out to me directly and then Linda yes let's let's try to connect afterwards. Okay, we'll do thank you. Thank you. Any more questions for Ember and Maria. If not, then I'd like to thank Ember and Maria again and we really appreciate you taking the time to share with us about the next gen manufacturing training program. I also want to thank everyone for joining. I hope you find the presentation informative and helpful to you. I will send out an evaluation survey to gather with Ember slide deck, link to the recording. Also, including the chat questions later this afternoon, please give us your feedback so we can continue to improve. Again, thank you everyone and have a wonderful rest of your day. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.
