Upward with Transfr S2E2: All About Manufacturing Month and the Future of the Industry

Manufacturing is surging back here in the USA, but not everyone knows it — especially not young people just entering the workforce, as well as job seekers of all ages who could swell the ranks of this critical industry. Transfr sims give learners of all stripes the skills they need to tackle the manufacturing jobs of the future, but who else is out there forwarding this vital mission? We're joined this episode by Transfr's own Mitch Dickey (Government Relations Manager) and, from the Illinois Manufacturers Association, Vice President of Education and Workforce Policy, Sarah Hartwick. We discussed Manufacturing Month and the effort underway to spread the word about the world of "Modern Manufacturing" and present training opportunities to help interested parties find well-paying jobs in this high-growth field.
