Manufacturing companies in the greater Wilmington area are growing, prospering and in need of employees.
CAPE FEAR MANUFACTURERS JOIN FORCES TO RESOLVE COMMON CHALLENGES Business-Led Collaboration Works to Boost Manufacturing,
More than 300 students from Pender and New Hanover counties learned about 21 local manufacturing employers, offering a wide variety of different services and positions. With a shipping crisis still affecting the U.S. and skilled workers still needed, the event gave students a chance to learn about options other than four-year universities that provide well-paying jobs.
Manufacturing firms in the Wilmington area are facing workforce issues, including shortages of workers and the need for employees looking for a long-term career.These issues and more led to the formation of the Cape Fear Manufacturing Partnership, a group of 27 manufacturing executives that started meeting last fall. The group represents the region’s varying industries and wide range of locally manufactured products.Joining us for Thursday’s WilmingtonBiz Talk are two manufacturing officials involved in the partnership who will discuss the industry and its challenges.The panel:- Jim Flock, General Manager, Hsm Machine Works- Steve Janz, Vice President of International Sales, Flow Sciences, Inc.
