Great article from Manufacturing Drive about how manufacturers can fight to decrease the talent gap in the industry. It's going to take collaboration between manufacturers, schools, community organizations and everyone in the communities they serve to fight the problem.

This article makes for an interesting read. I agree with all these points and have seen it all firsthand. Another aspect of this could be the adoption of modern technology for the production floor. When implemented correctly many automation and manufacturing software systems running in these facilities can be key to attracting and retaining the up-and-coming manufacturing workforce.

This article is spot on

Josh Cramer, Director of Education and Workforce Development at America Makes, a member of Manufacturing USA has authored a new article published in IndustryWeek today. Josh discusses how the US must lead the way in advanced #manufacturing talent and highlights how tapping into workforce resources at the national level can advance the skills of the labor force locally. This is a must read… #manufacturing #workforcedevelopment #labor #manufacturingjobs

We are seeing this same challenge in #projectmanagement, #engineering, and #construction. Workers want flexibility and professional development opportunities. How are you responding to this? How do you engage key talent?

If the U.S. is going to become a manufacturing powerhouse again, its going to need to account for the shifting priorities of young workers. #manufacturing #manufacturingindustry #southcarolina #workforcetrends

#Webcast: Watch my interview on Manufacturing Talks. I discuss reshoring job figures, how reshoring can cut emissions, the effect of reshoring on worker education and workforce development, and the relationship between reshoring and sound Lean principles. I hope you'll watch here: https://lnkd.in/gJsJkPCP #reshoring #supplychain

Thanks Dean Bartles for sharing and Josh Cramer for the article. In addition to the Deloitte study which highlights the growing #manufacturing #workforce shortage. According to a World Economic Forum report, 50% of existing workers will need to be up skilled to do the same job they do today. That’s 7 million manufacturing workers needing to be up skilled in the next decade! MxD, America Makes, and the other Manufacturing USA institutes are helping to new-, up-, and re-skill our workforce to meet industy’s current and future needs.

Although undoubtedly different from past generations, Gen Z workers are a substantial value-add for any business, particularly those in manufacturing. https://lnkd.in/gsAK5nxE #SupplyChain #Manufacturing #WarehouseManagement
