Wednesday, November 8, 2017 | 8:30 - 10:00 a.m. The National Press Club Many of the policies the Trump administration is championing aim to bring manufacturing jobs back to America. From NAFTA and the rules of origin, trade policies on the table could force US companies to hire more American workers. MEMA members report skilled labor shortages, long-term challenges in maintaining a qualified workforce, and full facilities. Even if companies are able to scale up facilities in this country, does the workforce exist to make it successful? How can we help American manufacturers meet the demand? MEMA, which represents the largest sector of manufacturing jobs in the US, will host a lively panel discussion, which will explore the on-going challenges US companies face in recruiting, hiring, and retaining qualified workers as well as what solutions employers are using or seeking to meet hiring demands.
