Large-scale layoffs scare good workers from manufacturing careers

• http://www.lvb.com

Manufacturers across many industries complain about a lack of skilled labor.

Educators decry the lack of interest in manufacturing careers among young people.

Manufacturing was once a great staple of the local economy and they want to bring back manufacturing's reputation as a strong career option for tomorrow's workforce.

There's an emphasis on STEM (science technology engineering and math) education to give young people the technical skills they will need for manufacturing jobs. And there are promotions such as the Manufacturers Resource Center's "What's so cool about manufacturing" video contest aimed at getting young people excited about careers in the industry.
