WHAT CAREERS CAN MANUFACTURING LEAD TO?
WHAT WILL I DO?
Manufacturing careers vary depending on the industry and skill level. Automotive and medical products are more automated, where automation technicians are leveraging computers to manage the assembly line. Installers are performing more manual work, assembling products, directly with their hands as they move through the assembly line. A fabricator might be using tools to join two pieces of metal together to create a large piece of machinery. A CNC Machinist works with CNC machinery to create tools and parts from metal, plastic and other
materials.
Industrial Maintenance Technicians perform basic maintenance and
repairs on machines to keep the factory running efficiently while a welder fuses metal parts by applying heat.
