Amity Mold Company, a mold shop in Dayton, Ohio, has a good idea. It presents college-type rings to persons who complete its four-year apprentice mold maker program and become journeymen. The rings are presented during a graduation ceremony.
Like any school ring, these symbols of accomplishment are decorated with appropriate motifs. The words, journeymen mold maker, encircle a red gem stone. The owner's initials and date of graduation are engraved on scrolls embellishing each side of the ring. The name of the company in graceful script decorates one side of the ring while a computer terminal, micrometer, machinist's square and other precision instruments appear on the other, indicating that the wearer is proficient in both emerging technologies and traditional skills.
Leonard Dickess, president of Amity, believes that his is the first company in the country to award such rings. The rings not only honor individual achievement, but are also a statement about the rigorousness of the apprentice mold making program at Amity, as well as a tribute to its management for maintaining such a program.
Likening this apprenticeship program to college-level work seems altogether appropriate. Higher education is supposed to prepare the student for a productive career as well as for an enhanced life of the mind. I suspect that a journeyman mold maker in today's challenging, fast-changing technical world does well on both counts. A good mold maker need fear neither unemployment nor intellectual idleness. Ironically, it may be the college degree that suffers in comparison.
On a more practical level, these rings lend prestige to a vocation that deserves greater respect and recognition. In an image-conscious society, these symbols may also appeal to the kind of talented and motivated young people who might otherwise miss out on rewarding and self-fulfilling careers. All of the skilled metalworking trades desperately need to attract a new generation.
Every shop with a comprehensive apprenticeship program like Amity's ought to give its graduates such rings. And everyone who earns one ought to wear it with pride.
