Celebrating Manufacturing on the South Shore

6/13/2019

2 Comments

 
​Thursday evening, June 13, the South Shore Manufacturing Advisory Group held its first networking social and industry outlook at Mayflower Brewing, Plymouth. Over 80 attendees representing local manufacturers, educational institutions, and industry associations including MassHire South Shore, and the South Shore Chamber, turned out to learn more about the Advisory Group’s accomplishments and future plans. Established back in the Spring of 2018 under the organization umbrella of the MassHire South Shore Workforce Board the Advisory Group, this group meets monthly to create and administer programs and initiatives to support the manufacturing industry in the region.
 
The consistent challenge expressed by area manufacturers throughout the region is a need to fill their expanding workforce demands to keep up with the needs of their customers, and grow their business operations.  Finding quality workers with the basic training needed to enter the company’s workforce is a challenge that the South Shore Manufacturing Advisory Group is trying to address.  Working with area colleges and high schools, the Advisory Group members are developing an after- hours curriculum for high school students, young adults and mature job seekers to prepare them with the basic skill-sets necessary to embark on a career in manufacturing, as well as curriculum options that will provide individuals college credits that can be utilized towards a degree program.

Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito meets with local developers &  business leaders

6/5/2019

1 Comment

 
Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito joined the Chamber and South Shore Economic Development Corp. (SSEDC) leaders, Braintree Mayor Joe Sullivan, Weymouth Mayor Bob Hedlund, and area developers in a discussion held June 4 that focused on economic development and housing initiatives both generally around the Commonwealth and more specifically throughout the South Shore and the Braintree/Weymouth Landing.

Throughout the discussion, which started at Landing 53 (25 Commercial Street, Braintree), Lt. Gov. Polito discussed how the initiative, South Shore 2030, launched by the South Shore Chamber is very similar to what she and Governor Baker are looking to achieve across the Commonwealth, and how the leadership of the mayors and the business community took this vision and made it a reality at the Landing. A plan is important, she said, but without resources and partnerships, it cannot be implemented.
