Veteran Workforce Policy Outlook
RSVP TODAY
REGISTERJoin us on Wednesday, March 24 at 3:30 pm ET for a Veteran Workforce Policy Outlook virtual event hosted by Samsung and The Manufacturing Institute, the workforce and education partner of the National Association of Manufacturers.
What You’ll Learn
This event will provide a platform for policymakers to highlight their upskilling and training agendas for the new Congress and Administration. The MI will also showcase the success and impact of Heroes MAKE America, our initiative to build connections between the military community and the manufacturing industry. Heroes MAKE America has graduated over 450 participants since its inception, paving the way for success in their “next mission.” Manufacturing values the skills and experience of the greater military community and stands ready to work with Congress and the Administration to position today’s American Heroes to be tomorrow’s manufacturing leaders.
Even as the nation battles the COVID-19 crisis, manufacturers need to fill nearly 500,000 open jobs. That’s why supporting upskilling and training for those who have served is so essential to manufacturing’s continued competitiveness.
