The Century Foundation (TCF) and the Urban Manufacturing Alliance (UMA) announced the convening of the second cohort of their Industry and Inclusion project to develop solutions to advance racial equity in manufacturing. The second Industry and Inclusion Cohort includes representatives from twelve community colleges who will participate in a learning community over the next two years, all focused on improving outcomes for their Black, Hispanic, Asian, Indigenous, women, and other underserved students and communities. As part of the cohort, these colleges, along with workforce, industry, and community partners, will collaborate to deepen the impact of their manufacturing credentialing programs and increase equity and inclusion in their local manufacturing workforce. This learning community will leverage expertise from a diverse advisory board, findings from the first Industry and Inclusion Cohort, and local partnerships to develop a set of best practices for increasing the number of students from underserved communities that successfully complete manufacturing credential programs and enter the local workforce. The Century Foundation and the Urban Manufacturing Alliance will document these best practices and identify opportunities for policymakers to support impactful credentialing in a series of publications developed out of the project.
