This week, WiM’s Founder and Executive Director Allison Grealis was interviewed by Plante Moran, an international business advisory firm, on the manufacturing skills gap and how women are a largely untapped resource to fill it. As Plante Moran notes in the piece, manufacturers struggle to replace retiring workers from the baby boomer era, a full half of the hiring pool is not being reached as effectively as possible. Although American women are 47% of the workforce, earn more than 50% of associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees in the U.S., and hold more than 50% of all supervisory positions, they make up less than 25% of the manufacturing sector’s workforce. Read Grealis’s suggestions and insights into this disparity in the full Plante Moran interview below: Why aren’t the numbers of women in manufacturing higher? What’s keeping women out, or why are they choosing to stay out? GREALIS: We know that women are underrepresented in manufacturing not because they are not ab...

Niby klasyka, czerń i szarość z nutką tak modnej w tym sezonie bieli, ale look nie jest wcale taki grzeczny jakby mogło się wydawać, prześwity z siateczki typu mesh dodają mu pazura. Zmykam przygotowywać się do egzaminu, a w między czasie zapraszam wszystkich Was, którzy będą w przyszły czwartek w okolicach Śląska na spotkanie ze mną ( i moją radosną twórczością) w Europie Centralnej KL...

Ashley Martof Workforce & Educational Outreach Intern America Makes #HearHerStory / @womeninmfg At Women in Manufacturing, we are committed to supporting women in the manufacturing sector. We firmly believe that mentorship and community-building will help attract and retain women in manufacturing.  As part of our mission, we feature on our blog the stories of women we admire who are currently working in manufacturing.  The following is the latest installment of our "Hear Her Story" series. “When I was in high school, I had no idea what I wanted to be,” remembers Ashley Martof.  “I loved animals,” she says, “so I was thinking about studying biology and maybe becoming a veterinarian.” It wasn’t until her sophomore year of high school that a teacher discovered her aptitude for math suggested a career in engineering. “I did always like to build things when I was little,” Ashley says, “but I never connected that interest with engineering.  I am fortunate that my ...
