                                 ______

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 28, 2014

  Mr. SCHNEIDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an industry 
leader and educational institution that have joined together to improve 
skills training and help bridge our economy's skills gap.
  In Wheeling, Illinois, ICARTEAM, an industrial electronics repair 
services provider, and Solex College, a private career college, 
partnered to develop and implement training programs in manufacturing 
repair services.
  The 21st Century global marketplace will demand highly-technical 
skills and a national commitment to improving skills training--from 
design to development and repair. Recognizing the critical importance 
of skills training and advanced manufacturing, ICARTEAM and Solex 
College forged a partnership to address the skills gap that affects far 
too many of our businesses.
  Through this partnership, Solex College will provide specialty 
training that is not only industry-recognized but industry-developed. 
The expertise and experience of ICARTEAM, combined with Solex College's 
educational excellence, will help train and field a 21st Century 
workforce to support and boost 21st Century manufacturing.
  I am proud that the Tenth District is home to this type of industry-
educator collaboration, and I look forward to seeing its tremendous 
results for years to come.
