- MxD has very strong partnerships with organizations.
- Some partnerships are developed based on funding opportunities that allow organizations to come together. One example is a former partnership that MxD had with the College of Lake County. The college provided training to participants that MxD recruited and identified.
- MxD refers training participants to employers within their membership network for job placement opportunities. This is a practice that the organization intends to develop further in 2026.
- Some collaborations are based on the expertise of an organization. For example, MxD partnered with the University of Michigan and other Manufacturing USA institutes to develop the Workforce Readiness Guides.
- MxD partners with organizations to co-deliver content in a workshop or training forum, as well as hosting a partner’s content on the MxD website.
