AEM Program Aims to Help Manufacturers Attract Talent

In an effort to help companies attract talent to the industry, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has released a workforce recruitment toolkit to help organizations bring in new employees.

According to the organization, the toolkit will become part of its workforce development program along with a webinar series and scholarship initiatives. AEM worked with various equipment manufacturers and sellers, as well as education experts, to create the program. Equipment manufacturing and other similar industries are facing skilled labor shortages as talent moves to other sectors. According to a recent report by Deloitte, as many as two million manufacturing jobs could be left unfilled over the next decade.

According to the AEM website, the program is aimed at companies in all segments of manufacturing. The organization represents more than 950 companies throughout the United States.
