This blog is the second in a monthly series brought to you by the new\u00a0America Works<\/a>\u00a0initiative. As a part of the MEP National Network\u2019s goal of supporting the growth of small and medium-sized manufacturing companies, this series focuses on innovative approaches and uncovering the latest trends in manufacturing workforce development.<\/em><\/p>\n

Craig Garner, profiled recently in a\u00a0PBS News Hour<\/a>\u00a0segment discussing Rhode Island\u2019s focus on retraining workers displaced by the pandemic, is excited about his new job at Yushin, a robotics manufacturer. He may or may not know what\u00a0Polaris MEP<\/a>\u00a0is \u2013 even though Rhode Island\u2019s MEP Center played a critical role in creating the training program that landed him his new job, and potentially set him on a whole new career path.<\/p>\n

You may not hear their names on the evening news, but\u00a0MEP Centers<\/a>\u00a0like Polaris are actively working \u201cfrom K to Gray,\u201d a holistic approach to education throughout a person\u2019s life, to develop a more diverse, inclusive advanced manufacturing workforce of the future. The case for improving diversity in every industry is clear: as\u00a0McKinsey<\/a>\u00a0has written extensively, \u201cCompanies in the top quartile of gender and ethnic diversity were 25% and 36% more likely to financially outperform those in the bottom quartile, respectively.\u201d Moreover,\u00a0the pandemic has disproportionately displaced workers of color<\/a>, and connecting displaced workers like Craig to higher-paying job opportunities in advanced manufacturing is a win for the worker, for the company, for our economy, and for our society overall.<\/p>\n

To be clear, diversity takes many forms \u2013 race, ability, age, gender, nationality, socioeconomic status, and more \u2013 and MEP Centers are offering programs in every area. In fact, America Works is actively tracking the vast array of programs offered by MEP Centers that increase diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) across the spectrum. For this article, we\u2019ll give some well-deserved shout-outs to Centers that have best-in-class programs in diversifying the American manufacturing workforce.<\/p>\n

Engaging Diverse Youth<\/h2>\n

While STEM programs can be found in schools around the country, MEP Centers are actively introducing young people to careers in advanced manufacturing. Many MEP Centers, like\u00a0NWIRC<\/a>\u00a0(part of Pennsylvania MEP) and\u00a0Alabama Technology Network<\/a>\u00a0(the MEP Center in Alabama), successfully pivoted during the pandemic to offer virtual factory tours during 2020\u2019s Manufacturing Day. Some MEP Centers, like\u00a0DVIRC<\/a>\u00a0(part of Pennsylvania MEP), have\u00a0partnered with local high schools\u00a0to create exciting engineering programs; others have launched robust youth apprenticeships, like\u00a0MAGNET\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0(part of Ohio MEP)\u00a0Early College, Early Career<\/a>\u00a0program. The \u201cWhat\u2019s So Cool About Manufacturing?\u201d video contest, started by the\u00a0Manufacturers Resource Center<\/a>\u00a0(part of Pennsylvania MEP) in 2013 and targeted towards middle schoolers, has now grown to\u00a0more than a dozen states<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Educating and Training Diverse Adults from Diverse Backgrounds<\/h2>\n

Around the country, MEP Centers are creating bootcamps and other rapid on-ramps for workers into open jobs.\u00a0New Hampshire MEP<\/a>\u00a0partnered<\/a>\u00a0with a wide range of organizations to actively place displaced workers into open manufacturing jobs. Future Fit, an ambitious partnership in Arkansas that includes\u00a0Arkansas Manufacturing Solutions\u00a0<\/a>(the MEP Center in Arkansas), incentivizes holistically supporting all students by reimbursing the community colleges only for those students who successfully complete the 100 hours of training. Amongst\u00a0Catalyst Connection\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0(part of Pennsylvania MEP) robust workforce offerings, the\u00a0Operation NEXT\u00a0<\/a>program offers no-cost training in CNC, maintenance and welding to upskill or reskill workers. And to ensure that new workers are welcomed on the plant floor,\u00a0Maryland MEP<\/a>\u00a0hosted a Critical Manufacturing Strategies\u00a0webinar<\/a>\u00a0that focused specifically on DEI for manufacturing executives.<\/p>\n

Communities<\/h2>\n

MEP Centers are partnering with community-based organizations (CBOs) to provide comprehensive support services that specifically assist workers of color and increase their likelihood of successful participation in workforce development programs. MAGNET in Cleveland, Ohio, has created a\u00a0Manufacturing Sector Partnership<\/a>, which then partnered with several nonprofits to launch\u00a0ACCESS<\/a>, a training program for returning citizens to connect with manufacturing jobs. And\u00a0NJMEP<\/a>\u00a0has launched the\u00a0ProAction Education Network<\/a>, a consortium of nonprofits, government agencies, and schools that actively offers industry-recognized certifications to every interested New Jersey 12th grader, displaced workers, incumbent workers, and more.<\/p>\n

As you can see, when it comes to workforce in many communities, the MEP Centers are the real \u201cboots on the ground,\u201d offering manufacturing careers to more youth, adults and communities. Of course, these programs are just a start, and the DEI journey for American manufacturing is still in progress. To accelerate the process, America Works is actively working to forge new partnerships with leading organizations in this area \u2013 including\u00a0The Century Foundation<\/a>,\u00a0Urban Manufacturing Alliance<\/a>,\u00a0Jobs for the Future<\/a>,\u00a0National Fund for Workforce Solutions<\/a>, and more \u2013 with the goal of leveraging that expertise to better inform and grow MEP Center programs. If you know of best-in-class programs or organizations, either within the\u00a0MEP National NetworkTM<\/sup><\/a> or outside it, please contact us<\/a> as DVIRC.<\/p>\n

Together we can make real and lasting change in American manufacturing through growing and diversifying our workforce. The goal is clear: an American manufacturing sector that welcomes, supports and retains workers \u2013 regardless of their class, creed or color \u2013 creates a better America for us all.<\/p>\n
