You probably know that Connecticut has always been, and remains
a hot bed of innovation. We're a place famous for turning ideas into
realities that change the world. Things get made in Connecticut, and
the community that makes them is thriving!
But they need you!
As older workers retire, there will be literally thousands of jobs
available over the next several years here in Connecticut. These are well paid, technical
and professional positions, where you can grow, and build a career.
If you are at all technically inclined with basic math skills and a willingness to work
hard and learn, manufacturing in Connecticut could be a great place to build your
career. Manufacturing is so important to our state that there is a huge support
network, represented right here in these pages committed to helping you, and
Connecticut's manufacturers succeed. Manufacturers in Connecticut are not your
grandfather's idea of a factory. These companies, thousands of them, are innovative,
and successful. They compete at home and internationally, and they are modern
workplaces driven by advanced manufacturing technologies and techniques.
All of us--the Hartford Business Journal, the community of manufacturers
profiled here, who want to introduce themselves to you, along with our sponsoring
organizations who support the manufacturing community--hope that Cool STUFF
Made in Connecticut is useful to you, as perhaps your first introduction to the
possibility of a career in manufacturing right here in Connecticut.
