Exploring the 2024 MEP Workforce Survey

Thank you to America Works’ Executive Director, Matthew Fieldman, for joining this Monday call and sharing the results of the 2024 MEP Workforce Survey. Matt’s survey data has been organized on this excellent website dashboard, enabling users to search through nearly every NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) Center in the country. Each Center has shared their progress building innovative workforce development programs that work for their state or region.

This is a hugely beneficial resource for understanding the national capabilities of the MEP Center Network, and for those in the manufacturing workforce development ecosystem to know where certain programs are being implemented, what’s working, what are the trends etc. in pursuit of greater outcomes for our nation’s workers and manufacturers!

Contact Matthew Fieldman here and visit the MEP Workforce Survey 2024 webpage.
