FPE Automation's John Pearson juggles a very full schedule. He works full time at FPE, and in the evenings, he's also a student at Harper College.
While in class, John noticed that the lab could use some PLCs, so he approached FPE's Dave Bardos, President and Lori Wolff, Vice President. FPE's ownership is extremely supportive of education and committed to FPE Automation's involvement in the community. John persuaded Dave to attend an open house at the college and meet his professor. That made such a positive impression that Dave agreed to donate several Omron PLCs.
Those PLCs will help train hundreds of engineers. That will give them the technical expertise to excel in the modern workplace, cementing the our country's place in the #automationrevolution and our global competitiveness. Doing that, in turn, will help keep jobs here on American soil. Jobs that these future grads will eventually hold.
All put into motion by one perceptive individual. Are we surprised? Not at all. It's part of the culture here at FPE. Everyone gets involved. Are we impressed? Definitely! Way to go, John!!!
