Let's work together to leverage the significant resources that reside within our manufacturing community.
__________________________________
The time for solutions and a unified voice is now. Workforce skills shortages are significant and expected to grow over time. Employers are facing the reality that a critical level of experienced workers has retired and the tribal knowledge that exists on the shop floor falls far short of being able to replace the lost knowledge and expertise. Massachusetts has identified the importance that advanced manufacturing has in the state's economy and its path out of current economic doldrums. Never has there been a better time for this alliance to gain momentum because it has the ear of our state's officials.
