MANUFACTURING:

Manufacturers across Wyoming have a critical need for up-to-date trained workforce. The advanced manufacturing programs, with the leadership of Manufacturing Works, have partnered with local manufactures to identify those needs and build a curriculum and program to train a qualified workforce. Further, Manufacturing Works will utilize WIP to increase skill-based training for Wyoming manufacturing companies and provide agile resources to up-skill the current workforce and prepare students. This support will allow Wyoming businesses to pivot as necessary and fill workforce needs as they arise.

Outreach programs are engaging K–12 students and the broader community, while programs such as Manufacturing Works are building strong partnerships with local businesses to address workforce gaps, provide industry-recognized credentials, and upskill current employees. The overall purpose of these efforts is preparing students and workers for the demands of modern manufacturing and supporting the growth and competitiveness of Wyoming’s manufacturing sector.
