We are excited to bring together the brightest minds on one of the most talked about challenges in the manufacturing and skilled trades industries: retaining top young talent. This summit is designed to give owners, leaders, and managers in manufacturing and skilled trades the tools and insight to better understand, communicate with, and retain the youngest generation at work. It also won't be a bore. Attendees will laugh, learn, and walk away armed to drive real change. BridgeWorks is the company behind the definitive book on managing Millennials and has applied their generational insights to help organizations recruit and retain across generations for over twenty years.
Since 2010, skilled trades have been the most difficult jobs to fill. Over the next decade, there will be 3.4 million manufacturing jobs created—of which an estimated 2 million will go unfilled. The number of job openings combined with the lack of available labor supply means that existing workers have the freedom to hop from job to job, leaving managers and leaders scratching their heads and asking, “Once we finally get these young workers in the door, what can we do to keep them from walking out?”
