Finding and retaining top talent remains one of the biggest challenges in manufacturing and one certainly faced by Endress+Hauser, a company with U.S. headquarters in Indiana. The maker of measuring equipment for process industries uses a European apprenticeship model to attract future talent, with initial outreach starting with elementary school students.
In this video from the IndustryWeek Operations Leadership Summit in Indianapolis this summer, Endress+Hauser Director of Workforce Development Nicole Otte describes her companies efforts to build a talent pipeline for years to come by getting young people excited about manufacturing young and involved with manufacturing as they get older. Joining her was former apprentice, now a technical program trainer, Nick Rhorer.
