Welcome to the official Web site for the Alliance for Innovation in Manufacturing-Kansas City (AIM-KC).
The Kansas City region was selected by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) and NAM’s Manufacturing Institute to pilot a grassroots national campaign aimed at attracting young people into manufacturing jobs and expanding education and training opportunities to meet a growing shortage of skilled employees. The Alliance for Innovation in Manufacturing-Kansas City (AIM-KC) was created as the local partner for this effort.
The Dream It. Do It. campaign seeks to provide tools and resources for young adults to help them identify what they are passionate about and then utilize this information to find a fulfilling career in manufacturing. It also seeks to create an awareness of the broad range of highly paid, interesting careers offered in today’s manufacturing.
AIM-KC is working closely with community leaders who understand the importance of manufacturing and the role it will have in the future of our region and our nation.
