The South Central Manufacturing Regional Sector Partnership is an industry-led collaboration of our Region’s manufacturers, addressing talent development and branding in the New Haven and Middlesex regions of Connecticut. The Manufacturing Collaborative takes a data-driven approach to understanding the critical needs of our manufacturers around talent acquisition. Working with our partners in colleges, universities, technical schools, and high schools, we are creating talent pipelines to connect manufacturers for our students and adult learners.
The vision of the South Central Manufacturing Partnership is to strategically create and expand talent pipelines by utilizing a data-driven approach to address the needs of the industry. We expand and support career awareness programs at the secondary level and create direct connections to talent for manufacturing organizations.
