Intersect Illinois reposted this
Today's #MFGDay24!⚙️ I was honored to serve on the executive advisory committee on behalf of Intersect Illinois for the State of Illinois' #MakeItInIllinois campaign that kicked off #ManufacturingMonth. Aimed at revitalizing Illinois' #manufacturing sector, the campaign will strengthen the state's already robust manufacturing talent pipeline. Not only is #Illinois an attractive location for manufacturing businesses due to our strong manufacturing base 💪 (Illinois boasts the 4th highest manufacturing GRP in the U.S., and manufacturing significantly contributes to the state's economy, accounting for 12.3% of its GDP) and innovation/R&D 🤖 (Illinois ranks 6th in the nation for private sector manufacturing R&D, with $11.1 billion invested), but now, with $5 million committed to marketing (and reiterating) to prospects that manufacturing is indeed a great career path, what better time than the present to #BeInIllinois?
