Stony Brook University's Manufacturing and Technology Resource Consortium Names Jessica Cracchiolo as New Center Director
Change is afoot at Stony Brook University’s Manufacturing and Technology Resource Consortium. Not the MTRC’s mission; Empire State Development’s regional Manufacturing Extension Partnership center has always provided job-creation and profit-maximizing assistance for regional midsized manufacturers, and that’s still Job No. 1. But with fresh blood comes a fresh approach for the reinvigorated MTRC. New Center Director Jessica Cracchiolo, a Hofstra University graduate (BA Psychology, 2004) and longtime standout at New York City-based workforce-development consultancy Grant Associates, has taken the reins from former Program Manager Cynthia Colon, who’s now director of strategic initiatives at the Stony Brook School of Professional Development. Cracchiolo is orchestrating a master relaunch plan that started with a comprehensive survey of Long Island manufacturers – and doubles down on longstanding efforts to help those midsized businesses overcome hurdles to profitability.
