FAQs
The Young Manufacturers Network is open to any “young” manufacturer looking to grow in their career and meet with like-minded individuals. Members work at a manufacturing (or related) facility. “Young” can be determined by you, however most of our members fall between the ages of 21-40.
As a member of the Young Manufacturers Network, you have access to monthly Manufacturing Meet Up events, plant tours, professional development opportunities, and more.
No. Being a member of the Young Manufacturers Network allows you to attend as many or as few events as you’d like to. Our goal is never to overwhelm you with things to do after work, but provide you with opportunities to grow. It’s up to you how much you want to be involved.
