WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT FOR MANUFACTURERS

According to SME.org, over the next 10 years, 3.5 million manufacturing jobs will become available. But 2 million of those jobs will go unfilled due to a significant skill gap. In addition, 74% of manufacturers report that the skills gap has negatively impacted their company's ability to expand operations (Source).

But in Elk Grove Village, things are changing. Elk Grove-based businesses have access to Chicagoland's well-educated and highly skilled workforce of over 4,000,000 people, a strong education system, and several associations and non-profits that are taking huge strides to close the skills gap.
