Next Generation of Manufacturing: Challenges to Transition
Our guest for this #PoisedforExit episode has a long history in manufacturing, as an owner and now as the President of Minnesota Precision Manufacturing Association. Steve Kalina and I had a great conversation about what his organization specifically does to help manufacturer's grow, educate their teams, retain talent and plan for transition.
Steve came from a family business, spending 20 years in various leadership roles before he decided he needed to make a change. All those years working in the industry himself really enrich his role as President of MPMA. When his members are stuck and need connections to find answers, Steve's background serves them well. Tactically and logistically, he gets it. Emotionally and psychologically, he gets it too.
Under his leadership MPMA has determined the focus of their Strategic Plan to be on Workforce Development. The biggest issue facing manufacturer's everywhere lies in their ability to recruit and retain people who are so hard to find.
Learn more about how MPMA assists its' members in workforce development by listening to this short episode now.
