TLMI reopens scholarship program

Over the past half decade, workforce development has been one of the central pillars of TLMI’s strategic plan. The association’s board of directors renewed its commitment to prioritizing the workforce last year at its board meeting in Austin, Texas. 

The association remains committed to utilizing its resources to positively impact the current challenges its members are facing in attaining and retaining qualified employees. 

Scholarship recipients are students enrolled in two and four-year certified degree programs. 

In 2019, TLMI expanded its scholarship to include students in two-year technical programs.

‘I want to thank the co-chairs of the TLMI Workforce Development Committee, Nick Spina of Luminer Converting Group, and Kristen Shields of Graymills,’ commented Linnea Keen, president of TLMI. ‘They have been working hard to reignite interest in the program and working with their committee to think of additional ways that the association can allocate resources to help our members with one of the most critical and urgent dynamics that companies are facing today. 

‘I want to remind our members that their own employees are also eligible to receive TLMI scholarships to further their own educational coursework in the industry and I encourage members to make sure that their teams know about this unique opportunity.’
