Co-create a winning plan with businesses, non-profits,
career seekers and other Vermont partners

Join VMEC and Generator for their 2026 Advanced Manufacturing Day (AMD), a unique opportunity to celebrate manufacturing and its important impact on the VT economy. Co-hosted and now in its third year, the focus of this afternoon event will be learning from VT-based programs that are currently utilizing their skills and connections in closing workforce gaps. Attend what will no doubt be a very informative event to share your challenges, explore and “workshop” solutions to hear what others have accomplished so you can prepare and move forward with your own success story; connect, collaborate and plan so you may build a stronger manufacturing workforce!
