Our CEO, Sharon Robertson, recently joined Manufacturing Tech Australia to unpack how collaboration with industry, unions, and government is key to closing the skills gap and building a stronger future for Australian Manufacturing.

She also addresses one of the industryโ€™s biggest hurdles: outdated perceptions.

As hosts Shane Williams and Paul Mason note, many Australians still donโ€™t fully understand what manufacturing is. Sharon shares how the Manufacturing Alliance is working to change the narrative and get young people and their families excited about todayโ€™s manufacturing industry.
