Tooling U-SME to Facilitate Industry Discussion on Attracting and Retaining Millennials in Manufacturing
DEARBORN, Mich. (PRWEB) June 11, 2015 -- With 75 million millennials (those between the ages of 18 and 34) potentially looking for rewarding careers, and manufacturing facing an estimated skills gap of 600,000 positions, it is essential that manufacturers not only understand this generation, but take the appropriate measures to attract and retain.

Toni Neary, education specialist, Tooling U-SME, and Mike Munday, CEO and owner of Arwood Machine Corporation will also join the conversation.
