SUMMARY:Creating an Equitable & Future-Focused Manufacturing Workforce with Apprenticeship
DESCRIPTION:Right now\, American manufacturers are finding that they need to make near-term changes to their hiring and training practices in response to developments like these: \n\nCOVID-19 has accelerated the automation revolution and placed a renewed emphasis on safety and efficiency\, requiring manufacturers to hire workers who are skilled in new technologies and methods\, and to train those who aren’t.\nCompanies are awakening to the value and importance of offering equitable career opportunities\, causing a shift in policies and procedures in order to widen the talent pool and provide equitable access to opportunities for career advancement throughout the workforce.\nPresident Joe Biden has unveiled an economic recovery plan to Build Back Better that includes a concerted effort to drive demand for goods made by American manufacturers\, creating a need for a larger and better trained manufacturing workforce.\n\nApprenticeship has proved to be an effective means of training and upskilling new hires and incumbent workers in a wide variety of manufacturing occupations\, such as machinist\, CNC machine operator\, manufacturing engineering technician\, and many other high-demand roles. \nJoin JFF’s Center for Apprenticeship & Work-Based Learning with the AFL-CIO Working for America Institute to discover how apprenticeship can help your business become a more competitive player and an employer of choice for a diverse pool of talented workers from a wide range of backgrounds. \nDon’t miss this free event! The day’s activities will include a regional networking opportunity and offer practical advice and insights for HR professionals\, leaders of manufacturing companies\, and anyone else who’s interested in learning how apprenticeship can build a diverse and dynamic talent pipeline filled with workers who are well prepared for the manufacturing jobs of today and tomorrow. \n  \nREGISTER HERE>>\n  \n
