Addressing the misconceptions of manufacturing and bringing to light the ample career opportunities available in our industry is critical to developing a solid pipeline of future talent.  The Partnership Response Initiative in Manufacturing Education (PRIME) program is a proven resource for manufacturers the country, offering education and career-readiness opportunities for high schoolers.

With more than $6 million secured by MMA in the School Aid Fund budget to double the number of PRIME schools in Michigan, now is the time to connect with your next-generation workforce.
