The Challenge for Manufacturing Manufacturing is still VERY IMPORTANT to the U.S. economy. There is a rapidly aging workforce. Technological advancement requires new & sometimes “unique” skill sets. To overcome the negative stereotype that manufacturing has gotten over the years – We must now open our doors and show them what we do! We must be the ones that help to drive the “passion” for manufacturing in today’s youth! Today’s advanced manufacturing world can still offer a young person place to develop a great career! There are initiatives going on around the country to improve this situation, but they need your support! Get Involved!
