Empowering Women in Production 

Designed for: Women in production, direct production support, and shop-floor roles in manufacturing that do not have direct reports. This program is best suited for women who are newer team members, team leaders, and/or those that are identified as having leadership potential but no current leadership experience.

The Empowering Women in Production program is a 20-week course to support the professional development of production, production support, and shop floor employees. Employees in production settings often have tremendous insight into the culture, products and processes that manufacturing companies need to innovate. By developing these women into leaders, we can improve the industry overall and inspire other women to explore careers in manufacturing.

This program is best suited for newer team members or team leaders and/or those who are identified as having leadership potential but limited leadership experience.
