Leading2Lean’s Manufacturing Index reveals that Generation Z is interested in manufacturing, but the industry needs to fight for the young generation’s attention and participation.
'A survey conducted by Leading2Lean (L2L) reveals there is hope that Generation Z – those born from the mid-90s to the early 2000s – will spur innovation throughout industry. The survey focused on Generation Z’s opinions and assumptions about the manufacturing industry. The findings indicate the manufacturing industry has a real opportunity to tap into this up-and-coming generation of tech-savvy workers just as industry’s aging Boomer generation retires, leaving behind a skills gap.'
