Door County manufacturers are working together to help fill the personnel needs of the businesses. Manufacturing Day held this past fall brought students to their facilities, but also potential new employees as businesses look to fill over 400 openings in the Sturgeon Bay Industrial Park. NEW Industries owner Chris Moore says it is important for people to know that once they learn to be a machinist, they will most likely always have a job waiting for them.

Moore believes manufacturing is especially becoming more attractive as it invests more in technology and computers, something millennials are gravitating towards in their future careers.
