The Big Idea Makerspace

Join WESST Farmington Women’s Business Center and New Mexico MEP for a Manufacturing Day celebration of women in Manufacturing. Manufacturing has traditionally been a male-dominated industry—fewer than one third of manufacturing employees are women. Working women who are moms and leaders within their family and community often go unrecognized, and the balancing of work life is particularly tough on women. Though there have been improvements in recent years, women are still underrepresented in the manufacturing industry. To inspire future women in the industry and recognize those that are paving the way; we are starting a conversation about what can be improved. Join us for a panel presentation with Women in Manufacturing where we start a greater conversation around closing the opportunity gap and showcase the opportunities that abound in the manufacturing sector. Hear directly from women who are making an impact in manufacturing.
