Dream It. Do It.
Fostering growth, innovation and jobs

Manufacturers across the U.S. are experiencing a severe shortage of qualified employees including skilled production workers, scientists and engineers. At the same time, our education system is not producing students with the level of skills needed for today’s advanced manufacturing.

In response, NAM and the Manufacturing Institute developed the Dream It. Do It. Manufacturing Careers Campaign. Dream It. Do It. Fosters growth, innovation and jobs by building entrepreneurial, regional alliances and providing youth-oriented awareness and education initiatives designed to captivate and prepare the next generation of skilled American manufacturing talent.

The Dream It. Do It. Manufacturing Careers Campaign:

  • Promotes a clear understanding of advanced, high-tech manufacturing and its enormous contribution to innovation, productivity, economic growth, wealth building and high quality jobs
  • Promotes strong regional, cluster-oriented, pro-manufacturing partnerships among local business, political, education and civic leaders and economic developers
  • Puts a new and exciting face on today’s manufacturing with edgy advertising aimed at 16-26 year olds, their parents and educators that expels old stereotypes of manufacturing
