Accomplishments included an in-person convening in Detroit, sustained technical assistance resulting in shifts in program design and mindsets on equity and inclusion in their manufacturing programs, and establishment of a peer network that will continue beyond the cohort. Launched the Worker Voice Pilot project, a one year project to support intermediaries in Oklahoma City and Houston seeking to improve job quality and retention in small and medium size manufacturing businesses by engaging workers and businesses in collaborative efforts. Awarded a grant to launch II South and began initial work on the program. II South is a learning and action cohort focused on bringing together manufacturing practitioners in the Southern United States. This project builds on the findings and takeaways from previous industry and Inclusion cohorts.

Note Unfortunately, the administration instructed the US Treasury, who runs the SSBCI program, to eliminate all field staff in April of 2025. At that same time the administration cut the Small Business Administration staff by 43 and threatened to eliminate the MEP network essentially dismantling the manufacturing business support system needed to undergird this financial program. |
