Manufacturing
Leading the Way for Southeast Wisconsin Manufacturing
The Manufacturing Alliance of Southeast Wisconsin serves as a platform for manufacturing companies in our region to share ideas, encourage innovation, and work together to transform the image of manufacturing to target new talent. As an Alliance member, manufacturers have access to networking opportunities, workforce development resources, and other ways to connect with the Southeast Wisconsin manufacturing community.
The Manufacturing Alliance was formed in 2010 in response to the critical needs of our manufacturers, who account for 20% of industry — or 1 in 5 jobs — in Waukesha County.
What We Do For Regional Manufacturers
The Waukesha County Business Alliance provides networking opportunities, training, and advocacy to manufacturing companies in Southeast Wisconsin.
Manufacturing Alliance Initiatives
- Manufacturing Executive Council – Comprised of manufacturing leaders who set the strategic direction for the Manufacturing Alliance of Southeast Wisconsin, this group works to raise the profile of manufacturing in our region, share best practices, and attract a talented pipeline of skilled labor.
- Schools2Skills™ – Schools2Skills™ Manufacturing tours give Waukesha County middle and high school students the opportunity to tour local manufacturing companies to learn about what careers in those industries have to offer. To date, more than 10,000 students have participated in this program over the last 10+ years.
- Manufacturing Voices - This annual program brings together manufacturing business leaders to engage in dialogue about issues pertinent to manufacturing.
