Manufacturing is raw materials that become products such as cars, computer chips, cell phones, contact lenses, cosmetics, couches, clothes, candy, and more. Employees who create those products range from production-line workers in factories assembling parts to executives in skyscrapers overseeing global operations. With the automation process, performing tasks that typically occur in manufacturing, highly trained employees that can adapt to a variety of situations are necessary. Manufacturing today needs people who can understand highly technical information and who can make complex decisions. If you are a creative problem solver, can follow detailed instructions, or are good at organizing people and processes, then Manufacturing may be the right career pathway for you.
