🚀 Calling all Idaho manufacturers! Join us for a complementary lunch to learn about the employer collaborative approach to workforce challenges. This initiative is open to all Idaho Manufacturers.   Idaho manufacturers, join a collaborative session to pinpoint the critical skills and roles impacting your operations. Key decision-makers, HR leaders, operations, and training teams—let’s tackle these challenges together. This isn’t business as usual—it’s an opportunity to shape solutions that work for you.   What makes this different?   We’re not looking to create one-size-fits-all solutions. We will listen, focus, and build cohorts of manufacturers  with shared priorities to tackle workforce challenges together. These cohorts will be based upon your needs, and could include: Welding & Fabrication, Industrial Maintenance, Machining & CNC, Electrical & Automation, Robotics, Nanotechnology & Semiconductor, Quality and more.     What You’ll Walk Away With: ✅ Discover an employer-led initiative where you’re in the driver’s seat – shaping solutions along the way that matter most to your business. ✅ Help pinpoint the most critical skills or roles where you need support – whether it’s upskilling, open positions or building new pipelines. ✅ Gain insight into the activities and strategies I will lead to drive results. ✅ Understand the key areas where your participation is essential to creating meaningful change.   What Could This Mean for You? • A stronger, more skilled workforce ready to meet your business demands. • Improved retention through targeted training, which could include career pathways, and workforce alignment • Enhanced productivity as skill gaps are addressed and talent pipelines are strengthened • Increased ability to plan, scale, and succeed through and employer-driven collaboration   Idaho is now #2 in the nation for cumulative manufacturing job growth, with a 40% increase since 2010? The future looks bright, but according to current projections, 1.9 million positions nationally could remain unfilled by 2033 due to the growing skills gap.   Let’s make sure Idaho stays ahead and transform workforce challenges into opportunities – shaping a brighter future for your business and Idaho manufacturing as a whole.
