At its heart, this is a marketing question. You have to sell yourself\u2014and the manufacturing industry\u2014to potential employees, specifically to young people who know technology but don\u2019t know manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manufacturing has been evolving rapidly over the past 10 to 20 years. The Digital Revolution and modern technology continue to transform the industry into something our fathers and grandfathers wouldn\u2019t recognize. Modern manufacturing is fast-paced. It\u2019s high-tech. It\u2019s digital. It\u2019s safe. Yet, millennials and other young people aren\u2019t flocking to fill the manufacturing jobs being vacated by retiring baby boomers. Why is that? The short answer: They don\u2019t know what they\u2019re missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question remains, though, what can be done to encourage new generations to consider manufacturing careers? Here are\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.industryweek.com\/talent\/millennials-and-manufacturing-eight-tips-attract-and-train-21st-century-workforce\">a few ideas from IndustryWeek.com<\/a>\u00a0to get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dispel the Myths<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selling young people on a career in manufacturing is all about dispelling myths. Counter the bum rap with facts\u2014about the good pay, the safety, the cutting-edge technology. Understand the misconceptions, the outdated stereotypes, and address them head-on. Modern manufacturing is exciting, challenging, lucrative, and safe. So, tell them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Highlight the High-Tech\u2026<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Young people have grown up as children of the digital revolution. Yet, they probably don\u2019t realize just what that revolution looks like in modern manufacturing. It\u2019s not what they think. So, tell them about computer-aided design, AI, automation, and 3D printing. They\u2019ll eat it up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sell the Future<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Research has shown that what millennials want out of work more than anything is fulfillment. That means learning and growing and advancing. Static, dead-end jobs are out. On-going training is in. Advancement possibilities are big. Make sure\u2014as much as possible\u2014that your company offers young people a fulfilling environment and future. And then go tell them about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Re-evaluate Job Postings<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every job posting is a commercial for your company&nbsp;<em>and for the industry<\/em>. Make sure you\u2019re selling yourself and the position you&#8217;re trying to fill, and actively dispelling the myths about manufacturing in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, young people these days just&nbsp;<em><u>think<\/u><\/em>&nbsp;they don\u2019t like manufacturing. Now, get out there and show them what they\u2019re missing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Entradas relacionadas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apstemps.com\/2019\/09\/24\/how-to-attract-talent-in-todays-job-market\/\">How To Attract Talent In Today&#8217;s Economy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apstemps.com\/2019\/09\/23\/how-will-automation-affect-future-hiring-needs\/\">C\u00f3mo afectar\u00e1 la automatizaci\u00f3n a las futuras necesidades de contrataci\u00f3n<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Rick Geiger What can we do to encourage new generations to consider manufacturing careers?
