International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women \u2014 while also marking a call to action for accelerating gender equality.\u00a0To recognize this year\u2019s campaign of Each for Equal, the\u00a0MEP National NetworkTM<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0is releasing a new video focusing on the importance of and impactful work being done by women in the manufacturing industry.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s manufacturing world, women play a much larger role than they have in the past.\u00a0Whether they are creative, analytical or process-oriented, there is a place in manufacturing for women. From leadership in the front office to machine operators on the shop floor, women of all ages are changing the stereotypes and face of manufacturing. Manufacturers need diversity among their workforce as they develop future technologies and women are a force to be reckoned with, offering some of the most brilliant minds in manufacturing today. Manufacturing is a safe, clean, high tech environment with opportunities for everybody. It\u2019s an exciting time to be a woman in manufacturing.<\/p>\n
