Greater Newport & East Bay Manufacturers are Invited to Learn About New Workforce Programs  Available

Polaris MEP’s programs are needs-driven, which means every manufacturer is part of our “Industry Advisory Council” — providing input and guiding the development of programs that help you recruit, retain and upskill employees.

Our next meeting will take place on Aquidneck Island, convenient to Greater Newport & East Bay manufacturers and with a special focus on the Composites sector. BUT, if you can’t join us in person, register and join by Zoom! Form below works for either in-person or Zoom option.

The swift-moving but packed agenda will get you caught up to speed on how to take advantage of two Incumbent Worker Training opportunities. And we’ll introduce Skilled New Hire Programs and a federally funded Partnership that you can leverage to help your company grow.
