I was visiting mold maker Precise Mold & Plate earlier this summer when CEO Don Dumoulin stopped the tour and said: "You have to meet these guys."
These guys were Tyler Johnson and Dan Anderson. And they were the poster children in Dumoulin's fight against the skills gap. Johnson is fresh out of high school and Anderson is his mentor. They are the focus of the second episode of Plastics News Radio -- a podcast about the people and issues shaping the plastics industry.
The episodes can be streamed on Soundcloud (or below). For Apple device owners, the show is in iTunes, and Android users can listen in the Google Play Music store.
