Current IssueThe Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

Fueling the Workforce Pipeline: January PCB007 Magazine
January 22, 2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

Workforce, workforce, workforce. It's a topic of conversation in manufacturing businesses that occurs nearly as often today as discussing quality and reliability. Finding good employees has always been a challenge, but the manufacturing industry has failed more spectacularly than most to draw new workers into the fold.
In the January 2025 issue of PCB007 Magazine, we take a hard look at fueling the workforce pipeline, specifically at the early introduction of manufacturing concepts and business to young people, including some out-of-the-box feature interviews with folks reaching out to the very young in our communities.
Also featured in this issue is Summit Interconnect’s internship program, the IPC Education Foundation’s collaboration with Stephen F. Austin State University, and we interviews with a couple of newbies just starting out in our industry. One works in engineering and one in purchasing and automation. Our great columnists also weigh in on the workforce and other important topics. Welcome to the January 2025 issue of PCB007 Magazine!
