MR works with manufacturers, youth, schools, social services, labor and communities to grow inclusive manufacturing ecosystems that can build thriving communities. Currently we operate several initiatives across two program areas: Career Pathway Services and Manufacturing Ecosystem Services. Established in 2016, The Young Manufacturers Association (YMA) serves as both a network and a program for young adults, aged 18-29, who are pursuing careers in manufacturing, in-between jobs, in training or interested in starting a career in manufacturing.
