Why Grads Should Consider Manufacturing Careers

Why Grads Should Consider Manufacturing Careers For most members of the newly graduated class of 2016, the manufacturing sector likely ranks pretty low on their list of possible careers  if it ranks at all. But while the competition might be stiff in many sectors that recent graduates are more likely to target, the manufacturing sector is suffering from an ever-increasing skills gap. Part of the reason why is that manufacturing jobs have a bad reputation. They are dirty. Unskilled. The pay is low. The hours are long. But the truth is, this isnt your grandfathers manufacturing sector. Over the last few decades, many of the unskilled positions in manufacturing have been automated. This means that skilled, educated workers are often required to operate and maintain the robots and computers that now run the show. College graduates in areas like IT, science, or mathematics can find work in this field without even having to look too hard.
