Workforce has the power to transform lives. It provides an individual with a sense of purpose, productivity, and dignity. It has the power to revolutionize entire communities and economies by providing basic human needs.
By 2030, manufacturers will need to fill 4 million jobs, 2.1 million of which could go unfilled if we don’t inspire more people to pursue modern manufacturing careers. Modern manufacturing provides opportunities for creators, makers and collaborators of all backgrounds and skill levels who are designing and building America’s future. On average, a career in manufacturing pays more than $84,000 a year in salary and benefits. It’s the path to a secure career, with many opportunities to progress and grow.
The MI relies on funding from contributions, sponsorships and grants, which are vital to our efforts to solve the toughest challenges in the industry today. With the support of our sponsors, the MI is able to inspire, educate and empower the manufacturing workforce of today and tomorrow through diverse initiatives that support all American workers, including emerging workers, women, veterans and students, through D&I, skills training programs, community building and career growth.
