RECEIVED FROM JOHN LARSON OCTOBER 9
"October marks 'Manufacturing Month' for Connecticut. This month, we celebrate the over 4,800 manufacturers who employ nearly 170,000 workers across Connecticut. Our manufacturers play a vital role in Connecticut’s economy, employing one out of every ten in our workforce and accounting for nearly 12 percent of our state’s total gross product.

Throughout the month, there will be events celebrating the importance of
manufacturing in Connecticut. Last week I had the great opportunity to speak to
hundreds of students in Hartford about careers in manufacturing during the
Dream It, Do It Initiative’s Manufacturing Mania Education Day.
In the spirit of Manufacturing Month, I recently announced that the next round of the Connecticut Manufacturing Job Match will be held on November 15th. At the event, manufacturers from around Connecticut will meet with manufacturing job seekers to match current job openings with candidates that offer a specific set of skills. To date, the Connecticut Manufacturing Joh Match Initiative has helped nearly 500 workers try to further their careers in manufacturing.

The industrial revolution was born in
Connecticut. The Colt Armory, the first company to export U.S. goods overseas,
developed such innovative and unique manufacturing techniques that Henry Ford
came to Coltsville to study them. Today, Connecticut is home to world renowned
manufacturers, including East Hartford’s Pratt & Whitney.
Manufacturing is in our DNA, and our businesses need skilled workers to help continue that great tradition for Connecticut. That's why events like Manufacturing Mania Education Day and the Job Match program are so important. I look forward to continuing to do everything I can to encourage everyone who's interested to develop the skills they need for a great career in manufacturing."
