Workforce resources
Manufacturing is the 2nd largest industry in Central Minnesota, providing nearly 40,000 jobs with an average annual wage of more than $60,500, well above the region’s overall average. Yet businesses struggle to hire, train, and retain their workforce. CMMA has worked closely with our regional partners to develop a list of a few resources to assist our members with their workforce needs:
