Leverage Technology to Increase Accessibility and Diversify Your  Workforce

MxD (Manufacturing x Digital) is where innovative manufacturers go to forge their futures. In partnership with the Department of Defense, MxD equips U.S. factories with the digital tools, cybersecurity, and workforce expertise needed to begin building every part better than the last. As a result, our more than 300 partners increase their productivity, win more business, and strengthen U.S. manufacturing.

MxD is hosting a Diversity-Equity-Inclusion-Accessibility (DEIA) workshop to address accessibility in the work environment.

<h2>MxD Workshop: Leveraging Technology to Create an Inclusive Workforce</h2><h3></h3><h3>American manufacturers face significant workforce constraints. By 2030, it is estimated that 2.1 million manufacturing jobs will be unfilled in the U.S. due exclusively to a skills gap. The economic impact of these missing jobs is staggering nearly $1 trillion by some estimates. At the same time, advanced manufacturing technologies are providing opportunities for a broader, more diverse pipeline of manufacturing talent than ever before. Recognizing these challenges and opportunities, <strong>MxD is hosting a Diversity-Equity-Inclusion-Accessibility (DEIA) workshop focused on highlighting manufacturers’ successes in leveraging technology to address accessibility in the work environment. Cutting-edge technologies can not only deliver solutions designed to improve the experience for employees, but they can also help manufacturers tap into previously under-engaged populations. Hear from industry leaders who will share models for how technology has helped increase both diversity and overall workforce availability. </strong></h3><h3>*This workshop will take place at McCormick Place during IMTS.
