Fueling the Workforce Pipeline: January PCB007 Magazine
01/22/2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamWorkforce is a topic of conversation in manufacturing businesses that occurs nearly as often today as discussing quality and reliability. In this issue of PCB007 Magazine, we look at fueling the workforce pipeline, specifically at the early introduction of manufacturing to young people.

Marcy’s Musings: Fueling the Workforce Pipeline
01/23/2025 | Marcy LaRont -- Column: Marcy's MusingsWorkforce, workforce, workforce. It's a conversation in manufacturing that occurs nearly as often as discussing quality and reliability. Finding good employees has always been a challenge, but the manufacturing industry has failed more spectacularly than most to draw new workers into the fold. In a domestic culture that has diminished the importance and relative social standing of manufacturing jobs, we now stare down a gaping hole where a ready, skilled next-generation workforce should be. It’s estimated there are 67,000 unfilled technical jobs in the U.S. semiconductor sector alone. In short, we are doing a lot of catch-up.
The Chemical Connection: Better Fabs Attract a Better Workforce

I believe they are directly related. A quality workforce makes it easier to produce a quality product. Unfortunately, as an industry, we have not done a good job of attracting quality young people for today’s production requirements.
