To excite America’s youth about the incredible career pathways that modern manufacturing offers, we must increase awareness and change misperceptions about the industry through exposure to hands-on experiences and engaging content.

Every year, about 200,000 men and women transition out of the military, and many need assistance finding a new career that utilizes their talents and supports their growth. The Manufacturing Institute is committed to helping today’s American Heroes become tomorrow’s manufacturing leaders.

For decades, manufacturing has been a driving force of economic opportunity. The Manufacturing Institute is committed to inspiring future industry leaders and building a strong talent pipeline. Expanding access to manufacturing careers is critical to the industry’s future, including unlocking the potential of underrepresented talent.
