Gen Z Hot Seat

How to Attract and Keep the Next Generation of Shop Talent

The labor shortage is real, and finding experienced people is harder than ever. But the next generation is out there, and many are open to manufacturing when the job and the culture make sense. Join us for a candid conversation with an early-career manufacturing professional in the hot seat. We’ll ask the questions leaders actually want answered, cut through assumptions, pressure-test what you think Gen Z wants, and translate it into practical changes you can bring back to your shop.

Level/Prerequisites: Beginner-friendly; especially useful for owners, ops leaders, and anyone involved in hiring, training, or retention.
