Working Waterfronts Part 2: Green Manufacturing and Diversified Workforce
Maritime and manufacturing industries are evolving rapidly to meet the needs of the blue and green economy. Solutions to the most complicated problems involve new technologies and a diverse workforce.
In this session we hear from change-makers from the business, non-profit, and education sectors that are advocating for industrial lands, skilled and diverse workforce, and leveraging regional strengths to help the Pacific Northwest emerge from this transition as a global leader in the maritime and manufacturing sectors.
