Connect, Learn, and Tell Your Story
Providing top-notch training, insightful content, and engaging media to drive innovation in manufacturing.
Embracing Our Evolution
Our journey begins with a foundational belief: the strength of a nation is built on the middle class, and the middle class is built on manufacturing. The Manufacturing Connector rises from the union of TCO Strategies and The Manufacturing Culture Podcast to continue a legacy of storytelling and community-building within this industry. Our mission is to illuminate the narratives of those who forge the products and innovations of tomorrow, reshaping the perception of manufacturing.
We are committed to revealing a world of sustainable career paths and opportunities within manufacturing. Our offerings—training, content, and events—are crafted to align manufacturers and their employees, fostering growth and innovation.
The rebranding to The Manufacturing Connector is more than a new name; it embodies our dedication to the people of manufacturing. We strive to create work environments as meaningful as they are profitable, ensuring businesses succeed and thrive.
“As a manager, Jim has helped and given me tools to be a better manager and help further my career.”
