5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BUILDING
A TALENT PIPELINE IN YOUR COMMUNITY
Whether you are a global giant or a locally owned small manufacturer, your business depends
on a reliable pool of skilled talent. The MMA’s partnership with the SME PRIME® program
delivers a solution every manufacturer can and should implement in their community.
HERE ARE FIVE REASONS WHY PRIME® IS RIGHT FOR YOU:
1 Employer-Driven. PRIME® starts with
conversations with manufacturers, is
manufacturing-funded and connects job
seekers directly to employers looking to
hire. When you work with PRIME®, the
focus is all on you!
2 Local Connections. Manufacturers
have facilities across the state and
what works in one location may fail
somewhere else. PRIME® connects
local manufacturers with local
educators to ensure students are
trained for jobs in their own hometown.
3
Customizable. PRIME® provides
multiple tiers for manufacturing
participation. Looking to build a talent
pool from scratch or just looking to
integrate new ideas into an existing
partnership? Wherever your business
falls, there’s a PRIME® opportunity
available to you.
4 Easily Implemented. Like the
manufacturers it serves, the
PRIME® program works because of
proven processes. From the initial
conversations to the development
of curriculum and finally to funneling
students from the classroom to the
facility floor, every step along the
PRIME® path is backed by research
and simple to implement.
5 It’s Already Starting! More than a
half-dozen manufacturers, including
General Motors and Shape Corp,
have signed on to develop PRIME®
curricula in local high schools.
Whether you are in West Michigan
or Detroit, near the Ohio border or
in the U.P., PRIME® can and should
be your go-to talent solution.
