Women in Manufacturing Kentucky

If you are in the market for skilled talent, you're not alone. 83% of #manufacturing companies are experiencing labor shortages, according to WiM and Xometry's 2024 Career Advancement Survey. A solution to this challenge can be found in building a custom registered apprenticeship program. Visit our website to read about how Trane Technologies leveraged our partnership with Jobs for the Future (JFF) to build a successful registered apprenticeship program and ensure workforce stability. https://ow.ly/wvqW50UaQQW #NAW2024 #ApprenticeshipUSA #manufacturing #WomeninMFG #WorkforceDevelopment

Join us in celebrating National Apprenticeship Week! WiM and Jobs for the Future (JFF) are partners on a national effort to help manufacturers tackle their workforce challenges through the development of registered apprenticeship programs. JFF offers both technical and financial assistance to build and expand apprenticeships through the IDEA-M project, supported by the U.S. Department of Labor. Learn more about the partnership and how you can get assistance with building a registered apprenticeship program here: https://ow.ly/NL5s50U91ES. Follow along with us on social this week as we celebrate and bring awareness to these valuable programs. #NAW2024 #ApprenticeshipUSA #manufacturing #WomeninMFG
