Careers/Job Opportunities

Member companies employ approximately 12,000 people in Connecticut and are a vital part of the manufacturing community across the state — not just New Haven County.

Internship/Apprenticeship Program

NHMA manufacturing members understand the value of training and cultivating manufacturing talent and actively hire people from technical high schools, colleges and universities, and manufacturing-certificate programs alike.

Company Benefits

NHMA programming offers the opportunity to exchange ideas in a variety of formats, including networking meetings, company tours and roundtable discussions. Additionally, member participation in technical advisory councils at educational institutions ensures that the skills learned are the skills needed in Connecticut’s manufacturing marketplace.

Community Engagement

Many of our member companies are active in their communities. From support of a local nonprofit of choice, to being active in community government, to donating funds to purchase manufacturing equipment at schools, NHMA members share their time, treasures and expertise.

School partnerships:
NHMA works with K-Career schools throughout the state, advising on manufacturing skills programming, best practices for manufacturing and the needs of the manufacturing community. Development of programs to support internship opportunities and certifying schools for pre-apprentice hours is also a focus.
