- MxD has recently transitioned its traditional Hiring Guides to what are now known as Workforce Readiness Guides. In environments where organizations are not actively recruiting, the term “hiring” can be off-putting. MxD received feedback that employers didn’t think they could find value in the guide because they weren’t adding headcount.
- The rebranded Workforce Readiness Guide focuses on providing information to help employers with recruiting, upskilling, general workforce planning, identifying talent sources, and more.
- To comply with Executive Order 14151, MxD has updated the language throughout its program materials and curriculum. The organization uses terms such as opportunity youth or underengaged populations to describe participants. These shifts in terminology allow MxD to better align its outreach and provide access to those who have historically been excluded from manufacturing opportunities.
