The Manufacturing Mind - Training the New Workforce

The vast majority of manufacturers are struggling to find, train, and oftentimes retain the workforce they need to sustain growth for the future. Many people understand the problem as simply a demographic issue as the baby-boomer generation retires. However, there are many more layers to the skills shortage that manufacturing leaders need to understand if they are going to effectively address the issue at their companies. For several decades manufacturing has been burdened by an untrue, negative perception as being dirty & dangerous, shop classes have closed, and “tinkering & fixing” in American homes has dramatically decreased. This has had a profound effect on the neurological “building blocks” that our society needs to support a robust manufacturing workforce. That’s what “The Manufacturing Mind” is all about. In this webinar, we’ll be discussing the impact that the broader American culture has had on perhaps the most important economic sector in our nation, and the strategies and systems that manufacturing leaders can adopt to counteract these trends. We’ll be joined by Ryan Pohl, an expert in the field who will share his insights and experiences, and we’ll have plenty of time for Q&A, so come prepared with your questions! Thank you for joining us for “The Manufacturing Mind” webinar.
