Carolyn Lee

Carolyn Lee appears in Why are we so obsessed with manufacturing? as a Manufacturing Institute voice on manufacturing skills and public image. She says open manufacturing jobs split between roles requiring college degrees and roles that do not, but that every job requires skills or the ability to learn them.

Her contribution is the Manufacturing Workforce Pipeline frame. The episode uses her comments to argue that apprenticeships, community-college certificates, and updated perceptions of factory work matter for whether workers enter the sector.
