“I recommend that women step up and take most of the 12.5-million manufacturing jobs currently available—good and steady income, transferable skills and getting things done. I started working in manufacturing 37 years ago. After a 12-yr. project- engineering role and teaching at the university, I transitioned to a manufacturing-management role, which paid better. I’ve not worried about my career since.”

“Manufacturing provides a rewarding opportunity to use one’s full skill set. Compensation is competitive and there are unlimited opportunities to get involved within the professional community. Working with like- minded, productive people has made my career in manufacturing extremely fulfilling and allowed me to set a great example not only for the women around me but also for my own children.”

“It is incredibly rewarding to know that my day-to-day efforts contribute in some way to the success of the plant. Providing the right information at the right time helps the plant and team accomplish their goals. Manufacturing constantly brings new challenges in an ever- changing environment with many opportunities to learn and grow.”
