BILL STRICKLAND is president of Manchester Craftsmen Guild and the Bidwell Training Center. The Bidwell Training Center today offers programs in ceramics, photography, and painting to over 500 kids a year, as well as 3500 additional students in the Pittsburgh inner-city school district. Ninety percent of them get high school diplomas and enroll in college. And at the Bidwell Training Center, over 1000 adults each semester receive training in professional careers like the culinary arts, pharmacology, and horticultural technology. Through partnerships with major corporations in the area, the Manchester Craftsmen Guild has helped 80 percent of its graduates land meaningful full-time employment. Manchester Bidwell is now a breathtaking facility that includes a 350-seat jazz auditorium, a 40,000-square-foot greenhouse covering half a city block, a state-of-the-art chemistry lab, a full-scale ceramics department, and a culinary institute. He has received a MacArthur Foundation “genius” grant, lectured at Harvard Graduate School of Education, and served on the board of the National Endowment for the Arts.
