Manufacturers

Finding talent is a challenge that has a significant impact on manufacturing companies. It is critical that we solve the skills shortage. Who better to share the story and passion about manufacturing than manufacturers? What makes the Alliance different than any other organization is that it's for manufacturers, by manufacturers. By joining together in a united voice and partnering with; K-16 education, workforce boards, economic development and other organizations, we are changing the image of manufacturing in northeast Wisconsin.
