Maximizing Economic Returns
• Talent development is a key pillar of any regional
economy’s competitiveness agenda.
• Developing the high performance manufacturing
workforce will help stabilize and grow manufacturing
industries currently located in your region AND be “an
attraction” asset for new manufacturers and job creators.
• Integration of these manufacturing credentials into your
education system is an opportunity to develop the
pipeline of manufacturing talent, rebuild North Carolina’s
technical workforce, and attract new jobs to your region.
20
Required Actions
• Policy makers and investors must call for and invest in
alignment of educational and career pathways in
postsecondary education.
• Education leaders must align educational pathways in
degree programs of study to nationally portable,
industry-recognized skill credentials, creating more “on
and off ramps” in postsecondary education and
producing the talent manufacturers need to succeed.
• Manufacturing employers must recruit, screen, and hire
individuals who successfully achieve the credentials.
