Investing in New Tech and Inspiring the Next Generation of Welders

Nov 2024

We’re excited to share the addition of a cutting-edge tool to our efforts in inspiring the next generation of welders: the MobileArc virtual welder by Miller Electric Manufacturing. This innovative equipment combines technology, safety, and education, offering a unique experience for students and teachers.

As a fourth-generation, family-owned company, we know that the future of our industry depends on engaging young talent. Through regular tours of our facility and participation in career fairs, we aim to spark interest in manufacturing and skilled trades among students from middle school to high school. The MobileArc helps these efforts by providing a hands-on, interactive way to explore welding in a safe, augmented-reality environment.

The integration of advanced technology like the MobileArc reflects our broader commitment to innovation. By thoughtfully incorporating tools like virtual and augmented reality, we’re not only improving our operations but also creating engaging learning experiences for the next generation of the skilled workforce.

For those interested in exploring career opportunities in welding, fabrication, and more, we encourage you to visit Inspire Lancaster, where we’ve listed information about our tour format, and other ways we’re engaging with the next generation of the workforce. Goodhart Sons is proud to lead by example, showing how technology can bridge the gap between education and industry, sparking curiosity and building skills for the future.

Whether you’re a student exploring career paths or a teacher looking for engaging ways to introduce manufacturing to your class, we’re here to help you discover the possibilities.
