INVEST TODAY IN THE FUTURE OF MANUFACTURING
Over the next decade nearly 3.5 million manufacturing jobs will be needed and 2 million will go unfilled due to the current skills gap. The inability to meet labor demands continues to negatively impact your individual company and the nation’s economic growth unless action is taken by every NTMA member company.
NATIONAL ROBOTICS LEAGUE
NTMA’s flagship youth engagement program provides a key link between students, educators and NTMA members. Through exciting, gladiator-style robot creation and battle competitions, the NRL creates a skilled, tech-savvy labor force that can meet today’s needs of modern manufacturing, along with the needs of tomorrow, while sparking students interest in exploring manufacturing careers. We need your help in developing future manufacturing talent. Visit the NRL Industry Tool-Kit to get more information.
MANUFACTURING DAY
For the fourth consecutive year, NTMA is proud sponsor of Manufacturing Day (MFG Day). MFG Day is a celebration of modern manufacturing meant to inspire the next generation of manufacturers. Manufacturers from across the United States engage the talent pipeline by simply opening their doors and inviting the community in to tour and find out more about the exciting, rewarding manufacturing career pathway that they can offer. We encourage you to join with the other manufacturers in recruiting and connecting with the future workforce, educating the public on manufacturing opportunities and showcasing your company’s growth and business success in a global economy.
