You Are Invited! SAMC Members Speak About Diversity, Equity, Inclusion in Manufacturing at SE MA STEM Virtual Program

Join SAMC Partners Mike Tamasi, Paula Martel and Diane Ferrera

SAMC members will be speaking about diversity, equity and inclusion in the manufacturing industry at the SE MA STEM Virtual Program on August 4th and 11th, 2021.

As panelists and workshop facilitators, Mike, Paula, and Diane will reinforce that manufacturing is a safe, vibrant, dynamic, and growing industry that provides a variety of quality and sustainable employment opportunities for all skill levels. They will participate in discussions about how to create a pipeline of skilled workers for new technology-driven positions and the various entry points for an individual whether a recent high school graduate, a participant in a specialized certification program, in possession of a 2-4 year college degree, or seeking a career change using transferable skill. Along with noting that manufacturing employees take home an average of $20,000 more than the average non-manufacturing employee in Massachusetts, they will highlight that attitude and the ability to collaborate are as important as a degree or certificate.

“Creating a pipeline of skilled workers and recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce is key to the growth of manufacturing in Southeastern Massachusetts. Participation in the STEM/DEI Program provides an opportunity for SAMC to provide a consistent message about job opportunities in manufacturing and to highlight that it is a safe and vibrant industry.  We hope you will join us and make  connections with other attendees who are committed to preparing students for the 21^st Century manufacturing workplace.”
