Testimonials

  • I was excited to learn about The Industrial Channel®.
    I like being on a website that focuses on manufacturing
    by bringing manufacturers to a central location. 

    Being a UAV/Drone pilot for OverSite Imaging, I’ve done work outside
    and inside some interesting manufacturers. 

    I see the value of being a client with visibility to the
    manufacturers on here. Best of Luck with The Industrial Channel
    ®!

  • The Industrial Channel was very instrumental in assisting our Alliance www.manufacturingcareerconnections.com in advocating and promoting careers in manufacturing by production of quality videos. You can find examples of these videos on both The Industrial Channel and Manufacturing Career Connections websites. We also know that some of these videos are used in participating businesses and schools to attract talent into manufacturing as a career. A huge THANK YOU, to The Industrial Channel for the great work you are doing.

  • The Industrial Channel presents a new and unique way to
    highlight a region’s manufacturing companies and
    education facilities. It provides the means for
    manufacturers to not only showcase their products
    but also to allow them to determine other manufacturers
    within their region who may serve as potential clients
    or vendors.

    This channel also serves as a portal
    for students and job seekers to learn of training opportunities
    within their locale. It offers employers the ability to
    communicate directly with those training facilities
    to coordinate job training and interface with
    job candidates. This availability of career
    information will serve as an inspiration
    to our area students.This site will serve to not
    only educate students but also to
    inspire them regarding their career
    training and their chosen careers.

    Overall, The Industrial Channel is a great place for
    employers, prospective employees and students to avail
    themselves of vital employment information
    right in their own backyard.

  • The dawn of 2023 arrived with all-time high rates of Covid in China, interrupted supply chains, and parts of the United States continuing to recover from the pre-Christmas day storm. Manufacturing, specifically manufacturing with complex supply chains, continues to suffer from lack of labor resources, high interest rates, and ongoing part-sourcing issues. The answer to many of these woes is a collaborative effort in manufacturing communities to:

    • Improve the reputation of manufacturing in parents’ and educators’ minds
    • Upskill local communities to prepare for manufacturing opportunities
    • Create the demand for manufacturing labor
    • Support the human resource and operations leaders in local facilities.

    The Industrial Channel creates an umbrella site for engaging and inspiring manufacturing videos coupled with training vendors. The channel is a resource for educators of Grades 5-12 as a source of inspiration. The trade fairs and meetings provide access to local vocational training opportunities for those in Grades 9-12 as well as those pursuing secondary degrees. 

    The United States needs manufacturing. Upskill our talent. Reshore our jobs. The Industrial Channel is here to provide you resources along your journey.
