Who doesn’t love a beautiful organized and relevant manufacturing infographic!
PUBLIC PERCEPTION
Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute complete a study every two years which surveys the general public regarding their perception of manufacturing. This infographic displays the results of the study that was completed in late 2014. People who are familiar with manufacturing rank it much higher than those who are not. The mission of Manufacturing Day is to provide many thousands of people with an introduction to manufacturing and the tremendous career opportunities it offers.
Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute completed a study of manufacturing executives in late 2014 to determine the severity of the skills gap in manufacturing. This infographic displays the results of their study and outlines the huge opportunity for careers in the industry.
