The Manufacturing Institute Announces Three-Year Partnership with Union Pacific Focused on Women, Youth Workforce
The Manufacturing Institute, the workforce development and education partner of the National Association of Manufacturers, announced a three-year partnership with Union Pacific Railroad to shrink the workforce gender gap by inspiring more women and young people to pursue modern industry careers.
The $3 million grant from Union Pacific—one of the nation’s largest freight railroads—will fund a new initiative called “Careers on Track.” The initiative will support workforce development and career solutions for women and will include creating a digital STEM curriculum, a virtual 3D-mapping STEM experience and a STEM micro-grant program for women.
