Manufacturers' Council of the Inland Empire

The Manufacturers Council (MCIE) provides a strong unified voice for manufactures and works to stimulate a robust economic and workforce climate for over 5,000 manufacturers in the Inland Empire. Since 2005, the MCIE has worked with local educational institutions, state and federal agencies to attract more than $50 million to support growth and innovation in manufacturing. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS), there are 94,884 manufacturing jobs in the Inland Empire. S & P Global forecasts that manufacturing employment in the Inland Empire will grow by about 4 percent between 2022 and 2025. With the reshoring of manufacturing, it is more important than ever that we work to improve the image of manufacturing as a productive, healthy, interesting and successful life-time career. We have doubled our collaboration efforts with high schools, community colleges and universities to attract qualified students into good, in-demand careers in manufacturing. MCIE manufacturers helped to develop three competency-based registered apprenticeship programs and a pre-apprenticeship program, the first in California. The MCIE provides networking opportunities among competitors, best practices tools, and access to local, state, and national governmental agencies, educational services, non-profits, training opportunities, and funding resources. The Manufacturers’ Council helps their members stay informed regarding legislation, smart technology, workforce training models and a myriad of issues impacting the industry. The Manufacturers Council is a 501c3 non-profit. Follow along for events, news & content on manufacturing in the Inland Empire.
