MPMA is proud to share that we have received a second grant from Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) and the Drive for Five Initiative. MPMA’s passion and dedication to strengthening the precision manufacturing workforce has not gone unnoticed by state leaders. You have all seen the Minnesota Wild Minnesota Manufacturing Night, the State Fair 12-Hour Minnesota Manufactured booth and of course many career fairs and individualized services we are offering job seekers and employers. There has also been behind the scenes work on the Minnesota Manufacturing Career Portal that now has about 300 active job seekers. Well, we are ready for MORE! We want to thank DEED for trusting us to do this important work. We also want to thank our MPMA members who are supporting and engaging with us as we continue to fulfill our mission.
