Manufacturing in America must make significant changes to keep manufacturing here. We need your help to get students interested in manufacaturing again, or there will be no people left in the US to follow us. The majority of manufacturing engineers are over the age of 35 and no one under them in age. In some companies, they are over 45 average aged engineers. We have to change this trend.
We are trying to come up with new and creative ways to reach the younger generation of manufacturing engineers and have established a committee to come up with these new ideas and ways. We need your help to make this succcessful.
If you will help us make this Chicago Manufacturing Organization one of the most successful, we will make sure your time is well spent.
