STEP Ahead Awards Recognize Women for Excellence in Manufacturing
Two Connecticut women have been recognized by the Manufacturing Institute with Women in Manufacturing STEP (Science, Technology, Engineering and Production) Ahead Awards.
The awards honor women who have demonstrated excellence and leadership in their careers and represent all levels of the manufacturing industry.
One honoree and one emerging leader from Connecticut have been selected:
Hannah Lenoce, a tool and die state apprentice at Cheshire-based Marion Manufacturing Co., was named an emerging leader. At 19 she was hired as the youngest woman state apprentice in the company's history and has learned to recognize areas for improvement and to leverage her education and communication skills to make them happen.Â
Amanda Varricchio, a ground test engineer at East Hartford-based Pratt & Whitney, was recognized as an award honoree for demonstrating leadership and executing across all missions she takes. She was the go-to test engineer for NGPF-30k flight test assignments, and has been integral to the success of that campaign.
