The MFG Skills Hub:

Built to Support Connecticut’s Manufacturing Workforce

Training That Keeps Production Moving

In a world where production schedules wait for no one, we know that finding time for development can be a challenge. The MFG Skills Hub was built to meet manufacturers exactly where they are—on the shop floor, in the front office, and everywhere in between.


By providing just-in-time learning and instant access to resources, we’ve created a specialized, private portal that fits into your busy reality. Whether it’s a quick technical fix or a deep-dive certification, the Hub delivers the tools and training your team needs to excel without missing a beat.


Most importantly, this platform is built for you and by you. We invite you to share your specific needs and challenges so we can continue to build and evolve the Hub in direct response to the demands of your business.
