Hudson Valley Manufacturing Workforce Center

The Hudson Valley Manufacturing Workforce Center is a 501(c)(3) organization founded to focus on the growing need to attract and retain skilled and motivated people to work for Hudson Valley manufacturers. For many firms in the region, the lack of a skilled and ready workforce is their greatest impediment to sustainable growth. For others, the looming retirement of many of their most valuable people is of strategic concern. Nationally, between newly created jobs and retirements, more than 3 million manufacturing jobs are expected to open up. The Hudson Valley is no exception with many Hudson Valley manufacturers expecting a wave of retirements in the next 5 years.

Building a Regional Strategy

To address both the near and longer-term workforce needs we will lead a Regional Manufacturing Sector Workforce Development Strategy. This strategy will provide real-time information on the workforce needs of the Hudson Valley manufacturing sector to educators, elected officials, economic development professionals, and others so they can better allocate resources, encourage the development of the appropriate skills and training, and build awareness about the many interesting and rewarding careers in manufacturing.
