Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs, the Foundation of The Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, Intl. (FMA), is making news with its timely efforts to avert an imminent crisis—the unprecedented shortage of skilled workers facing today's employer.

Through its manufacturing summer camps and scholarships, NBT is inspiring the next generation of manufacturers, welders, plumbers, carpenters and more ... one tinkerer at a time. We work to dispel the myth that these jobs are low paying, dirty and mostly a man's world.

John Ratzenberger, a founder of NBT, speaks on behalf of the organization and how we are addressing the urgent need to engage young people in career preparation for well-paid, fulfilling jobs that require hands-on skills.
