LISTEN: Gen Z in Manufacturing: How to Hire Outside the Traditional Talent Pool

Eric Sorensen

Welcome to another episode of Gen Z in Manufacturing, a podcast that asks young people about their journeys in manufacturing, how they intend to influence the industry and what they are looking for from an employer.

For this episode, I welcome Maggie Blaney, a 26-year-old solutions engineer at Epicor.

In this episode, Blaney discusses:

  • Why her early interest in manufacturing didn’t immediately translate into pursuing a career (1:01)
  • How to promote growth within a company (6:21)
  • Which parts of a shop floor attract Gen Z (10:59)
  • How Gen Z expects a company to use technology (12:57)
