CCAM - Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing just wrapped up its summer 2024 internship program, bringing together a talented group of students from top Virginia universities. These interns engaged in hands-on projects in advanced manufacturing, guided by CCAM's experienced mentors. This program was not just about learning—it provided an immersive environment where students observed, interacted, and collaborated with mentors to develop effective solutions. They gained valuable insights into manufacturing and learned how to leverage technology to enhance quality, productivity, and outcomes. As these bright minds return to school, they carry with them skills and experiences that will shape their futures. CCAM is proud to continue fostering the next generation of innovators. Meet the Interns (pictured right to left): Mehak Chopra, Ellie McDaniel, Becky (Jamie) Tran, Patrick Dewey, James Hall, Quinn Kast, Kamden Shephard, Omar Bishop, Nicholas Thompson, Cole Smith, (not pictured Logan Schorr).

About us
The Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CCAM) is an applied research center that bridges the gap between fundamental research typically performed at universities and product development routinely performed by companies. CCAM accelerates the transition of research innovation from the laboratory to commercial use. CCAM is the only collaboration of its kind in North America and it promises its member companies significant business benefits. By pooling resources to pursue university research authorized by member companies, CCAM increases the value of the R&D dollar. R&D risks and costs are shared by members – away from live production floors – and research results are shared with all members, allowing each company to capitalize on new, breakthrough developments that emerge from CCAM research. For more information, please contact Betsey Odell at Betsey.Odell@ccam-va.com or Lorin Sodell at Lorin.Sodell@ccam-va.com.

Today's #TechHub Tuesday is all about the many reasons why the Richmond-Petersburg region is ideal for an advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing (APM) Tech Hub! A big one is our location -- we are situated between existing biotechnology centers in Rockville, MD and Research Triangle Park, NC, the Region is less than an hour from the most technologically advanced port on the east coast, the Port of Virginia, which operates the Richmond Marine Terminal. Our location boasts sophisticated supply chain infrastructure that includes key transit intersection points with the convergence of I-64, I-95, and I-85, includes Richmond International Airport’s cargo facilities, and a Digital Port for the United States, with three high-capacity, low-latency intercontinental subsea cables coming in and through the Region. We're also close to a big chunk of the U.S. population. See the stats from our members at @VEDP on why the Richmond-Petersburg region is so important for our #industry and #economy. https://lnkd.in/e23DT6Dp Activation Capital, Alliance for Building Better Medicine, America Achieves, AMPAC Fine Chemicals, Brightpoint Community College, BrightSpec, Inc., Center for Economic Inclusion, ChamberRVA, City of Petersburg, VA, City of Richmond, Virginia, Richmond Public Schools, Civica Rx The Commonwealth Alliance for Rural Colleges, Community College Workforce Alliance, Crater Planning District Commission, CvilleBioHub, Richard Bland College of William & Mary, GENEDGE, GO Virginia, Greater Richmond Partnership, The Institute for Advanced Learning and Research, JMI, Julius, Network2WorkRVA, Petersburg City Public Schools, Phlow, J Sargeant Reynolds Community College, Richmond Region Tourism, US Pharmacopeia, University of Virginia, VABIOTECH, Medicines for All Institute, Virginia Economic Development Partnership, VIPC | Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation, Virginia State University, Virginia's Gateway Region Economic Development Organization, Walmart #TechHubs #pharma #advancedmanufacturing #biotech #buildingbettermedicine #funding
Virginia’s central East Coast location enables companies to efficiently access major U.S. economic hubs east of the Mississippi and across the continental U.S. Located within a one-day drive of nearly half of U.S. consumers, Virginia offers companies a single gateway into critical customer markets along the affluent Northeast corridor, across the high-growth Southeast, and throughout the Midwest. https://hubs.ly/Q02mf7sw0 #LINK2024

CCAM Unveils Industry-Leading GO TEC® Training Lab to Foster Next-Gen STEM Talent The newly unveiled GO TEC® Training Lab at the Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CCAM) aims to support the training and technical support objectives of the Great Opportunities in Technology and Engineering Careers (GO TEC®) program. The facility is strategically positioned to provide specialized training in key focus areas: precision machining; welding; IT/cybersecurity; robotics, automation, and mechatronics; advanced materials; and biotech engineering. GO TEC was launched in 2018 by the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research (IALR) in Danville, VA. There are now over forty GO TEC Career Connections labs operating in Virginia middle schools. The lab at CCAM is already training local middle school teachers from six Central Virginia school divisions, many of which represent underserved communities, including Colonial Heights, Dinwiddie, Greensville, Hopewell, Petersburg, and Surry. The expectation is that GO TEC will soon expand to support many more school divisions in Central VA.
