Multicounty Partnership Aims to Fill Labor Shortage by Highlighting Appeal of Manufacturing and Skilled Trades
If you really want to make things happen in business, you have to make things. That’s the power and appeal of manufacturing and the skilled trades. Innovators know it. Investors know it. Now the industry needs potential employees to know it.
The Business Development Board of Martin County is proud to represent our community in a regional collaboration to help fill the pipeline of viable workers for vital manufacturing and skilled trade jobs. But before filling the pipeline, the collaborative aims to fill the skills gap. That means getting graduating high school seniors—as well as their parents, teachers and guidance counselors—informed and excited about the local, lucrative and fulfilling careers manufacturing and the skilled trades industries offer.
