Kansas City, Missouri is committed to building a high quality workforce and education for its residents. This commitment is part of the fabric that makes Kansas City a world-class city to live in. At the foundation of its economy, the manufacturing sector is strong, and technology continues to give more companies opportunities to grow. This foundation, however, has a pervasive crack stemming from
misunderstandings about what the manufacturing industry has to offer. Many companies realize there is a need to create a "succession plan" for the manufacturing sector. Social Impact Technology & Engineering (SITE), a new 501c (3) with an accomplished board of directors, is focused on promoting awareness and education of urban Kansas City, Missouri youth in areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and dedicated to help fill this gap. SITE has chosen a path to permeate both the education and advanced manufacturing industry with a high quality workforce by:
• Promoting Academic Accomplishment As Well As The Social Impact Of Science, Technology, Engineering And Math On Society
• Forming Partnerships With Local Businesses In The Areas Of Advanced Manufacturing And Logistics Engineering To Promote Job Growth In Kansas City's Core
• "Linking" Urban Youth To High-Growth Career Opportunities That Currently Exist In The Local Advanced Manufacturing Industry
• Hosting The Nationally Recognized Annual Initiative, MFG Day (Manufacturing Day), In Kansas City
