The Future Is Made Here: How Project MFG Helps Bridge the Skills Gap
If you don’t know by now, America runs on manufacturing. The welders, machinists, designers and builders who turn ideas into reality are the ones keeping our country innovative, and progressive. Unfortunley, our country is currently facing a challenge: With over a million unfilled trade jobs and salaries on the rise, skilled tradespersons are not just in demand. They’re the backbone of America’s future. With the crucial issue our counry is facing, we need to raise awarness and give the next generation of creators more pathways to get there.
That’s where Project MFG comes in. We’re on a mission to elevate the skilled trades, by bringing together students, teachers, schools, and industry leaders together. We hope to bridge the skills gap and show the world that the future of American manufacturing is bright, bold, and absolutely made here.
Competition That Sparks Career
Who says learning can’t be exciting? Our hands-on competitions turn classrooms into launchpads. Students from across the country team up, battle it out and tackle real world challeneges. From precision machining and welding to additive manufacturing and fabrication. All while under the pressure and excitment of competition for great prizes and national recognition.
But they are more than just competitions; they are career-changing experiences. Students get to test their skills, work with cutting-edge technology, and meet employers who are ready to hire. Teachers get to see their students shine. Parents get to see their kids’ hard work pay off through opportunity.
Every challnege, every spark, and every finished project helps build confidence and inspire the next wave of American makers.
Partnering to Power the Future
It takes a village to build a workfrace. That’s why we team up with schools, educators, business, and local communities to create connections that matter.
We help align classroom learning with the skills that today’s employers actually need so that when students graduate, they’re not just prepared for a job, they’re prepared for a career that they love. Our partners, from small shops to national manufactuers, help shape these programs, ensuring every competition and training reflects the real world of modern manufacturing.
Together, we’re building bridges between education and industry that opens doors for students and strengthen communities nationwide.
Building Pride in every project
Evertime a student steps up to compete, everytime a teacher cheers from the sidelines, and every time a parent beams with pride, thats what Project MFG is all about.
We’re not just training the next generation of manufacturers, we’re celebrating them. We’re showing that skilled trades are creative, innovative and essential to America’s future.
Because when young people see that they can build something real, that they can create with purpose, and that they’re part of something bigger, it changes everything.
The Future is Made Here
We believe that the future isn’t far off because it’s being built right now, in classrooms, workshops, and communities across the country.
By empowering students, supporting teachers, and partnering with industry we’re helping to close the skills gap and inspire pride in American manufacturing again.
Because the future isn’t just coming; it’s being Made Here, by You.
