Lots of
people contact Triton looking for support for their organisations. Usually it
is for sponsorship or donations to help a worthy cause, and like most
responsible organisations we do our best to help out where we can. Just
occasionally, a request comes with a unique story that is worth both
supporting, and in particular, sharing.
Vocational qualifications and aspirations have long
been looked on as something for those who were not smart enough to achieve
academically. In many places, even access to practical or craft subjects such
as woodwork, metalwork, automotive etc, has become a rare opportunity at high
school level. So without the active encouragement of a parent or grandparent or
another suitable role model, very few young people are getting the chance to
experience the joy that making or growing something with your own hands can
bring.
Peyton, Colorado is a small town not far from
Colorado Springs. With the prairie stretching out on one side and the Rocky
Mountains in the background, it's pretty typical mid-America, though in one
respect it's doing something really ground-breaking. By making great use of a
previously abandoned building, they are reintroducing practical education -
specifically woodworking - to the games console generation in spectacular
style.
This is not the old woodworking programme of
previous generations; this syllabus aims to teach advanced, professional, lean
manufacturing techniques as well as hands-on design and construction to
students with an equal weighting to more traditional academic subjects. It's a
unique education and industry collaboration that is being seen as a model for
similar programmes, not only in America but across the globe.
This short film provides a background to the programme, how it came about and where it's heading for the future. We love the way the students are supported by retired volunteers, bridging the generation gap and sharing not just practical skills but genuine life lessons. Let us know what you think by leaving a comment below.
These programs help more people understand that this is a very interesting and promising industry in which you can earn good money.
