Wisconsin's Dream It. Do It. Implementation Team needs manufacturers who 'get it'.  What does this mean? They need manufacturers who recognize their current need for talent, want to attract and retain their next generation of workers, and are willing to share their resources (time, talent, treasure, best practieces, etc.) to promote careers in manufacturing.  Is this your organization?
