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

SUMMARY:Knowledge @ Noon - Effective Onboarding by M3
DESCRIPTION:Knowledge @ Noon is a monthly webinar series designed to help manufacturers stay up-to-date with the latest trends\, ideas\, and best practices. Each month will feature a new topic led by industry experts who will share insights and provide valuable knowledge and tools to help your organizations learn and grow. \nIn this Knowledge @ Noon monthly series the *Manufacturing Innovation Network will explore the significance of effective onboarding\, a critical process for organizations that helps to increase employee engagement\, reduce turnover rates\, and improve productivity by providing structured support and training for new hires.  \nStatistics on the importance of onboarding: \n\nAccording to a survey conducted by Careerbuilder and Silkroad Technology (nine percent\,) or 1 in 10 have left a company because of a poor onboarding experience\, and 37% percent of employees said their manager did not play a critical role in their onboarding experience support.\nWithout proper onboarding procedures increases in employee turnover and loss of productivity occur. This decreased employee engagement costs companies large sums of money every year.\nWhen a company has great onboarding 69% of employees are likely to stay for at least 3 years.\n\nSHRM (the Society for Human Resource Management): \n\n69 percent of employees are more likely to stay with a company for three years if they experienced great onboarding.\nNew employees who went through a structured onboarding program were 58 percent more likely to be with the organization after three years.\nOrganizations with a standard onboarding process experience 50 percent greater new-hire productivity.\n \n\nSpeakers:  \nMary Malone McCarthy is founder and CEO of M3 Placement & Partnership\, a national executive search\, talent acquisition\, and strategic HR firm. As CEO she has led the organization to significant growth through the team’s focus on building strong partnerships with a shared services approach and a passion for exceptional service.
