Working Together
“The Great Lakes Manufacturing Council offers a unique opportunity for eight states and two Canadian provinces to pursue powerful strategies to restore a strong and growing manufacturing sector in a regional economy with extraordinary assets.”
—Emily Stover DeRocco, President, The Manufacturing Institute & Senior Vice President, National Association of Manufacturers
Workforce
The Council is supporting the development of a manufacturing workforce and talent pipeline throughout the Great Lakes. Leaders in manufacturing and education are examining how Canada and the U.S. can better coordinate or harmonize their skills certification standards. Our manufacturing skills and productivity are vital to the region’s success, and we must create the platform for developing the next generations of manufacturing talent.
