Proactive Solutions to Overcome the Manufacturing Talent Shortage

The manufacturing sector is experiencing an unprecedented talent shortage, driven by the retirement of experienced workers, rapid industry growth, and a misalignment between education and industry needs. By 2033, the industry will require 3.8 million new employees, but without significant changes, half of these positions may go unfilled. To address this challenge, manufacturing leaders must adopt proactive solutions focused on attracting, training, and retaining talent.

According to a report by Deloitte, the skills gap in manufacturing could result in 2.1 million unfilled jobs by 2030.
