Nearly two million of these jobs could remain vacant because of a skills gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPandemic-driven shifts have already created hundreds of thousands of new jobs, and now we are seeing increased demand for digital skills that need to be met or risk further widening of the talent gap,\u201d Manufacturing Institute President and Executive Director Carolyn Lee said .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These modern manufacturing jobs don\u2019t necessarily resemble the iconic assembly lines of post-World War II America. Instead, many of these positions require more advanced skills, stretching beyond basic manual labor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA combination of digital skills, soft skills, and high-level technical skills show the fastest compound annual growth rates in manufacturing between 2019 and 2023,\u201d according to the report. In order for workers to acquire many of these skills, they need to undergo training or particular educational programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this challenge, manufacturers believe that much of the talent gap can be filled through partnerships with and investments in technical colleges, industry associations, universities, and other similarly situated organizations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report\u2019s authors advise policymakers, business owners, and advocates to \u201clook beyond the traditional talent pipeline\u2026 partnering with a variety of organizations to engage groups that may have unique barriers to entering or re-entering the workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis report is another important reminder of how a state\u2019s talent pipeline is essential to its manufacturing sector competitiveness,\u201d Arizona Manufacturers Council Executive Director Grace Appelbe said. \u201cWe regularly hear from manufacturing job creators about their struggles to fill important jobs. We\u2019ll continue to bring together manufacturers and policymakers to ensure we\u2019re making the right moves at the K-12 and higher education levels so that students are ready for fulfilling careers in manufacturing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arizona stands out nationally as a beneficiary of the manufacturing sector\u2019s growth. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/phoenix\/news\/2024\/01\/09\/phoenix-manufacturing-growth-newmark.html\">report<\/a> from real estate research firm Newmark released earlier this year found that Metro Phoenix is the country\u2019s top market for manufacturing job growth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Joe Pitts is a native Arizonan currently working in the public policy space.
