Post and Courier (Opinion): Creators wanted

If you’re looking for a highly rewarding, well-paying career, you’re in luck.

Today is MFG Day, when manufacturers in South Carolina and across the country open up their doors for events and tours. And they do that because they’re very eager to hire you.

With just under 800,000 manufacturing jobs open right now nationwide, our industry is on the lookout for talented, ambitious people to join our workforce to become the future of manufacturing.

Nephron Pharmaceuticals, for example, is always hiring and is excited to welcome new team members, interns or apprentices over the next year.

If you’re looking to make products that save lives, such as the medications and devices, or work with cutting-edge tools, such as robotics, augmented reality, 3D printing and more that are used across the industry, manufacturing is your chance to turn that dream into reality.

But don’t just take our word for it.

The National Association of Manufacturers and The Manufacturing Institute’s Creators Wanted Tour, in partnership with the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce, FactoryFix and Autos Drive America, is currently at Nephron Nitrile in West Columbia.

The Creators Wanted Tour seeks to inspire, educate and empower more Americans to find a career in modern manufacturing. If you aren’t already signed up to participate, you can find out how at creatorswanted.org.

Come see what modern manufacturing is all about. Your future as a creator awaits.
