Florida's Manufacturing Sector: Is Training Lacking? ⚙️

Florida's economic story is increasingly being written on the factory floor. With 48 consecutive months of job growth and over 434,600 manufacturing jobs as of March 2025, the sector is booming. From aerospace components in Brevard to medical device production in Pinellas, manufacturing is an economic powerhouse in the state.

But this growth brings intense HR challenges that require specialized solutions:

The Skills Gap: An aging workforce is retiring faster than new, skilled talent is entering the trades. HR must bridge the gap between traditional and high-tech manufacturing skills.

Retention on the Floor: Physically demanding work and complex safety requirements mean employee safety and retention strategies must be top-tier to avoid costly turnover and injuries.

Complex Compliance: Manufacturing HR juggles employment law with stringent industry-specific OSHA and safety regulations.
