Do It., a multi-regional campaign aimed at attracting young people to manufacturing careers and expanding their educational and training opportunities to meet a growing demand for skilled employees.
“Southeast Indiana is a role model for regions seeking to improve their global competitiveness by creating a skilled workforce,” said NAM president and CEO John Engler. “America can’t compete without skilled workers. Eighty percent of NAM members are having trouble finding qualified employees for today’s dynamic, high-tech workplace.”
Dream It. Do It. helps young people identify and find fulfilling careers in manufacturing. There are more than 600 advanced manufacturing companies in Southeast Indiana, and they report a need for more CNC operators, engineers, technicians, machinists and general production workers.
“Thousands of advanced manufacturing jobs are — or soon will be — available in Southeast Indiana, and they need to be filled with a workforce that is regionally trained,” said John Burnett, chairman of Dream It. Do It. SE Indiana.
