Workforce Development Support

The MPMA is a leader in manufacturing workforce development in Minnesota. We are impacting the image and future of manufacturing through the following initiatives:
Workforce Training Programs

Developing workforce training programs that combine traditional machine tool technology training, and self-driven training through an employer-structured apprenticeship. MPMA is partnering with state grant programs to provide our members with training at little to no cost.

Workforce Training Programs
Partnership with State Programs

We connect our members to state and local community programs to attract and train people for technical careers. We identify groups to increase and diversify our state labor pool.

Our Programs
High School Technical Programs

We support high school programs using a multi-faceted approach by working with instructors, school administrators, other successful schools, local industry, and legislative leaders.

Our Youth Programs

Legislative Representation

At the state Capitol, MPMA advances legislation that impacts our industry. We spearheaded the legislation that created the Youth Skills Training Program in 2017, and we continually work to strengthen Minnesota's skilled workforce and the manufacturing economy by working directly with legislators, state agencies and the MN Chamber of Commerce.
