elcome back to a bigger and more successful STUFF! Along with our partner NH MEP, we are thrilled with the
participation in the 2018/19 edition, and are pleased to continue the uphill battle of shedding a bright light on the future of
workforce development in the state. Without the full support of the manufacturing industry and the many organizations that
support it, we could never tell this story about the amazing products made right here in New Hampshire, and engage tomorrow's
workforce in the possibilities that holds. STUFF is full of the faces of the future of manufacturing - Enjoy!
