Insight on Manufacturing
Insight on Manufacturing offers a fresh, interactive platform of ideas and resources to manufacturers and related economic sectors in the New North.
Manufacturers in the 18-county region of Northeast Wisconsin know that to remain strong, they must share insights with business, education and community leaders. They continually seek innovative ways to redefine their production and marketing strategies, to attract and retain skilled employees.
Insight on Manufacturing sheds light on these issues, in print and online.

ETP-NEW & WPT PRESENTS MANUFACTURING THE FUTURE A DOCUMENTARY
The MANUFACTURING THE FUTURE Program is an initiative to increase awareness about manufacturing in Wisconsin including its history, the challenges it faces today and the future for our next-generation of manufacturers. The program includes a documentary with educational components and a web site with links to resources and information about the manufacturing industry. The MANUFACTURING THE FUTURE Program will shine a light on an industry once thought of as dark and low-tech and give you a glimpse of the future of manufacturing in Wisconsin.
Manufacturing and its future is a social issue that affects everyone. When it comes to manufacturing, there is a huge disconnect between the industry, the educational systems, the X and Y generation.... etc., etc., etc.
Educational Television Productions of Northeast Wisconsin and Wisconsin Public Television invites you to help tell this story...your story. Be creative with your submissions, comments and activities within your forums. The types of forums that can be created are limitless AS LONG AS WE ALL REMEMBER THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT.
The goal of the MANUFACTURING THE FUTURE Program is to increase awareness about manufacturing in Wisconsin including its history, the many challenges facing manufacturing today and the future opportunites waiting for the next-generation of manufacturers.”
