Manufacturing – It’s for Women Too!
Judith Crocker, Director of Workforce & Talent Development, MAGNET

Employers are seeking future workers from all sources and there is growing recognition of the role that women can play in these 21st Century careers.
Welding is one of those careers that offers great opportunities for women. A recent CNBC.com article illustrates the demand and potential for women in today’s modern manufacturing workplace.
