Company to showcase Diamondworks! educational solutions alongside Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation at ACTE's 100th anniversary CareerTech VISION.

Vernon Hills, Illinois - October 30, 2026

Mitsubishi Electric US, Inc., Industrial Automation Division (Mitsubishi Electric US, Industrial Automation) is helping prepare the next generation of manufacturing talent through educational solutions that connect classroom learning with technologies and skills used in industry. That work will be on display at ACTE's CareerTech VISION 2026, where Mitsubishi Electric US, Industrial Automation and Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation (MEAF) will exhibit in Booth #1401.

Through its Diamondworks! workforce development program, Mitsubishi Electric US, Industrial Automation works with high schools, technical colleges, trade schools, universities and industry organizations to support hands-on learning in manufacturing and automation. The program offers educational training equipment, curriculum, exercises, instructor training and certifications. At CareerTech VISION, educators can explore training simulators featuring automation components used in manufacturing environments and discuss curriculum needs with Mitsubishi Electric workforce development leaders.

"Students need opportunities to work with the technologies and applications they will encounter in modern manufacturing," said Tom Majewski, Business Development Manager, Educational Solutions & Commercial Training Program at Mitsubishi Electric US, Industrial Automation. "With Diamondworks!, our goal is to help educators make that connection by providing the equipment, curriculum, and training resources they need to build practical automation skills and show students where those skills can take them."

The Mitsubishi Electric presence will also highlight the work of MEAF, which focuses on empowering youth with disabilities to lead productive lives, including through employment preparation, workforce readiness, and career opportunities.

"Preparing young people for meaningful careers means making sure those opportunities are accessible to everyone," said Kevin Webb, Executive Director at Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation. "Career and technical education can play an important role in creating pathways from school to employment, and we want youth with disabilities to be part of those pathways."

Visitors can meet with Mitsubishi Electric workforce development representatives and MEAF at Booth #1401 during CareerTech VISION 2026.
