Lab Implementation (Work in Progress)IntroductionManufacturing is one of the largest economic drivers in the United States, but withoutintervention, its successes might be short-lived. This warning is not original, nor is it new.Organizations like Deloitte [1] have been keeping a close eye on the state of themanufacturing industry in the United States for years and have predicted that the country maybe in trouble. As increasing retirement numbers from the baby-boomer generation looms overthe horizon, a lack of interest and awareness for manufacturing careers from the nextgeneration is creating a vacuum of talent for tomorrow’s jobs [2]. Even if the trend ofpushing back the retirement age continues, there may still not be enough new employees

The goal of the program is to recruit andprepare high school students for an engineering program. A pillar of the program is formalmentorship that helps students realize their potential as engineers. The program was movedonline in 2020 to address limitations imposed by physical distancing mandates and reach morestudents outside of the city.Literature ReviewYouth MentoringYouth mentoring practices have been steadily increasing as more evidence emerges about thepositive effects mentoring can have, such as improved academic achievement

Additionally, minority studentsand women who persevere in high school and elect to attend a college or university may selectScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) majors; however, they tend to choosefields such as life and health sciences.
