Manufacturers in Indiana make all kinds of high-tech stuff, from electric cars and trucks to the latest military fighters and lifesaving medicines.  And it all happens in high-tech production facilities – advanced manufacturing facilities. Advanced manufacturing is about creating the stuff that we use to make life easier, fun, and more interesting and producing it in a way that's, well, easier, fun, and more interesting. It's not standing at an assembly line all day – it's contributing to a team, working with computers and other cutting-edge equipment in cool careers like electronics and engineering technician. It's also about earning more. Advanced manufacturing jobs pays 40% more than the typical Hoosier makes.

One of every five Hoosiers works in manufacturing – as the economy bounces back and older workers keep retiring, thousands of good jobs will be open over the next few years. Will you be ready?
