The American Foundry Society will honor five people for their contributions to metalcasting with awards at CastExpo 2019 and the 123rd Metalcasting Congress.

The AFS Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Division is accepting applications for a new award, the AFS Safety and Health Innovation and Insight Award.

A new workshop from the American Foundry Society Institute teaches the best ways to improve training in metalcasting plants.

The Training Best Practices Workshop is a highly interactive one-day course providing a strategic view of industrial training. Students will get solutions and templates to support training at their facilities, with applications specific to their companies. The workshop will focus discussions on training for industrial operations and maintenance employees.

Across the U.S., foundries are struggling to find enough workers. To help the industry reach the audience of potential metalcasters who are making career choices, the American Foundry Society has produced a video sharing the exciting story of rewarding careers in metalcasting.

“The Future of Careers in Metalcasting” features interviews with young metalcasting professionals – engineers, shop floor employees, salespeople, and more. These interviewees explain why they think metalcasting is the right career choice.
