Regional Efforts to Build YOUR Talent Pipeline
The number one discussion between the SRMA's staff and manufacturers remains labor, and that is not expected to change. The Silver Tsunami has begun and in Florida, will peak in 2030. In other words, your most knowledgeable staff is aging out and you are struggling to replace them!
Career Awareness
This is where it starts. Most manufacturers are in plain white buildings, hidden in industrial parks, have never visited the classroom, and wonder why they cannot find labor, let alone skilled labor!
At the SRMA, we are the dot connectors between manufacturers and education. We help organize:
- Student tours of your facility
- Your staff visiting instructors and students
- Collaboration of career awareness events and job fairs
- Roundtable discussions with all levels of education
- K-12
- Technical Colleges
- State Colleges
- Universities
- Internships and Apprenticeships
