(Starrett: Athol, MA) -- Doug Starrett, president and CEO of The L.S. Starrett Co., announced that Starrett donated more than $100,000 of precision measuring tools to support Workshops for Warriors, a nonprofit that assists the transition of U.S. military veterans into civilian life through training, mentoring, and job placement. “We are honored to be a partner with Workshops for Warriors to help the training and placing of veterans into advanced manufacturing careers,” says Starrett.

Manufacturing is the backbone of the United States, and with more than 600,000 U.S. manufacturing jobs that remain unfilled, there is no better time than now to take advantage of the talents of the thousands of returning veterans.
