CVMA’s mission is to bolster the manufacturing workforce in the Cedar Valley region.  Our strategy centers on engaging young students, raising awareness, and fostering interest in manufacturing careers while boosting the enrollment rate of manufacturing programs within the high schools.

​

To achieve this mission, our approach involves establishing and maintaining a strong collaborative framework between CVMA, local school districts, and career-driven organizations.  Through this partnership, and by actively involving our members in student interactions that showcase exciting career opportunities, we seek to create positive changes in the school systems that inspire students to consider manufacturing as a rewarding and esteemed career path.  We believe this joint endeavor will effectively promote manufacturing career paths within the schools, thereby addressing the skilled workforce deficit in the future.
