Description

Building and Bringing a Manufacturing Workforce to Delaware

As we make the turn from the pandemic and it's economic fallout, we are beginning to see an economic recovery, but we risk seeing a tightening in our labor market here in Delaware.  Manufacturing is a specific area that could see diminished growth if we cannot find ways to fill the demands for a semi-skilled workforce.  And while this discussion will be focused on manufacturing, the needs will be similar, and the topic relevant, wherever in our Delaware that we have labor market tightness. 

Speakers will represent small and large manufacturers, as well as industry experts engaging in a spirited discussion on ideas to prepare our workforce for this next economic expansion. 

Agenda: 
Welcome from Senator Tom Carper
