As part of a nationwide network of MEP centers in all 50 states linked together through the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), NH MEP enables even the smallest firms in New Hampshire to have easy access to more than 1,400 manufacturing technical and business specialists, along with the latest technology and industry best practices. NH MEP training also provide services to healthcare, banking, and education institutions. Throughout the year, NHMEP organizes student tours at manufacturing companies and likewise brings manufacturers to middle, high school and college level career fairs. The benefits are two-fold: they create awareness to students about the variety of opportunities that exist in the manufacturing industry and build a new generation of skilled workers for manufacturing companies who are growing rapidly. Our efforts peak during Manufacturing Month, a national event held every October. Visit https://www.nhmep.org/services/workforce-development/sector-partnership-initiative/ to learn more.
