By 2033, manufacturers must fill 3.8 million jobs, yet a growing skills gap puts half of those positions at risk. To address this challenge, manufacturers need to connect with students early, starting as young as 4th grade, as they will graduate in 2033.

The Manufacturing Institute has developed The Quest for the Crystal of Innovation (Innovators Quest), a gamified experience for students in grades 4-9. This interactive experience introduces key manufacturing concepts through fun, hands-on activities, helping manufacturers build awareness and excitement about manufacturing careers.

Learn how Innovators Quest can boost your company’s community engagement and talent pipeline during a virtual informational session on January 31 at 11 a.m. EST. For questions, contact students@nam.org. 1/22/2024
