Manufacturing jobs are waiting for you!

 

The South Central Manufacturing Partnership launched in March 2021, spearheaded by companies like Roto Frank of America, Hobson Motzer, PennGlobe, Ulbrich Stainless Steels & Metals, and Unicorr Packaging, involving over 25 manufacturing execs with three shared priorities: talent, promoting manufacturing, and cost competitiveness. The focus of our work is to mitigate or solve issues in the manufacturing industry in South Central Connecticut. It is supported by two Chambers of Commerce, the regional Workforce Board and involves nearly 30 additional public and government partners.
