Patrick Osborne ’94, MAT ’08 promoted to President at the Technology & Manufacturing Association

July 1, 2021



Patrick Osborne ’94, MAT ’08 has been promoted to President at the Technology & Manufacturing Association (TMA) headquartered in Schaumburg, Illinois. Patrick previously served as TMA’s Vice President of Training and Education.



Patrick emigrated from Ireland when he was 18 years old. He did so for one reason: the “plethora of opportunity” in America. Trained at an Irish state school to be a tool and die maker, Patrick's first job in America was at a mold-making company. Today, Patrick says he’s training tomorrow’s “surgeons of steel.”



As TMA’s vice president of training and education, Patrick oversaw fifteen instructors and staff as well as TMA Foundation staff that work to interest community colleges, high schools and youth groups into training. For Patrick, nothing could be more important than passing onto the next generation of American workers the same “plethora of opportunity” that enticed him as a young Irish immigrant to cross the Atlantic Ocean years ago.
