The Future and Your Role
The NRL has been successful in our initial mission—raising awareness of manufacturing careers— but there’s still work to do. We understand the importance of attracting, preparing and empowering the next generation of manufacturing workers. The simple truth: manufacturing provides rewarding career opportunities and well-staffed companies become thriving companies. That ensures a bright future for American Manufacturing and our national economy.
In order for the NRL to translate its success from isolated regional benefits to a large, nationwide, impact the program needs to grow exponentially. The ultimate goal of the NRL is to have at least one regional program in each of the 48 contiguous states.
Your support gives this program the influx of financial resources it needs to grow. The National Robotics League is looking for partners who want to strategically align with our efforts to infuse the manufacturing industry with talented students, who are the future workforce, in a fun, and challenging learning environment.
