While the future is bright for manufacturing industry, it’s more important than ever that we listen to and support our blue-collar workers so we can move forward together. The Voice of the American Workforce is the Nation’s largest survey of America’s hourly workers. In Employbridge’s 17th annual survey, over 29,000 blue-collar workers gave their feedback on what it takes for employers to attract, motivate, and retain them.

Join us Wednesday, June 14th as VonLehman CPA & Advisory Firm partners with Employbridge and Gateway Community and Technical College to discuss the results of the blue-collar worker survey and give an industry update. Additionally, we will hear from Gateway Community and Technical College’s president, Dr. Fernando Figueroa, as well as a Gateway student who will give remarks on his career in manufacturing. Please join us after the presentation for a tour of Gateway’s Center for Advanced Manufacturing.
