In the second episode of our Manufacturing Mythbusters series, we address many of the myths that are often associated with careers in manufacturing. We talk about the amount of jobs available right now (Hint: It's a lot!), the manufacturing environment,, the diversity of job offerings and company environments, how much manufacturing jobs pay (it's more than most people think), and much more!
This is a very timely episode, because right now there are literally HUNDREDS of job openings available in manufacturing all across our region. Manufacturers are looking to employ individuals at all levels with lots of different skill sets. You can check out some of these job listings at www.swvam.org/mfgcareers.
