A great paying career with many advancement opportunities is within your reach by completing the Move to Manufacturing program, which is a partnership between Mastercraft Industries/Holiday Kitchens, Schaffer Manufacturing, E&M Machine, and Arctic Compressor, Northcentral Technical College (NTC) and Northwood Technical College (Northwood Tech). According to data compiled by Lightcast (formerly known as Emsi), a Labor Market Analytics tool that uses data from government sources such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics and U.S. Census Bureau, out of 11 counties within the Northwood Tech region there is a reported 23,213 employees, which is 75% more compared to the national average of 10,506 employees for an area of this size.

Dan Miller, Associate Dean, Workforce & Community Development at Northwood Tech’s Superior Campus reflected on the importance of the Move to Manufacturing stating, “This is a great way to connect potential employees with area manufacturers. This program gives students a look into the manufacturing industry and its careers to make sure this is a pathway that aligns with their skills and goals. Increasing the number of qualified manufacturing candidates ensures retention of talent in our local communities.”
