Jake Hall: The Manufacturing Millennial | Master's of Engineering Podcast

An estimated 2.1 million manufacturing jobs could go unfilled in the United States by 2030, but young people aren’t stampeding toward those careers. Industry advocate Jake Hall hopes to change that – one social media hit at a time. Better known as the “Manufacturing Millennial,” his educational content promoting the industry on Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube has attracted more than 50 million views.

In this episode, Jake explains how he is trying to change the Millennial perception that modern factories are still gloomy, dangerous places – exploring the highly skilled, highly paid career opportunities that await them. Jake and Jon discuss how even global manufacturers need to think locally, investing more resources into vocational schools and community colleges. And they also bond over being fellow Chicago Cubs fans and the joy of eating Vienna hot dogs at Wrigley Field.
