We're Here To Help...

AJAC’s roundtables provide a forum for employers to discuss their workforce development needs, hear strategies other companies are using, and better understand alternate methods for sourcing new talent.

We also welcome community-based organizations and educational institutions to join our employers and better understand the issues facing them in the manufacturing industry.

AJAC invites local manufacturing employers, regardless of their partnership with us, to join one of our dozen employer manufacturing roundtables across Washington State.

Topics We Discuss

Each roundtable is catered to the workforce development needs of advanced manufacturing employers in a specific region.

We often discuss the following at each roundtable:

  • Recruitment and retention strategies
  • Alternative methods for attracting talent
  • Hiring underserved populations including women, people of color, and justice-involved youth
  • Benefits of registered apprenticeship
  • Program updates from AJAC
  • Short-Term Trainings
