Join a network of forward-thinking manufacturers united by CKMA to share insights, drive innovation, and shape the future of local manufacturing. Together, we aim to:

  • Expand Opportunities Across the Board
    Highlight the diverse roles and career paths available in local manufacturing—not just in production or engineering but at all levels and in all areas.
  • Lead Employer-Driven Research
    Serve as the region’s only independent, employer-led research group, free from college or training provider influence, to pinpoint and address industry needs.
  • Streamline Training Solutions
    Potentially pool demand across employers to commission targeted, high-impact training that directly meets workforce requirements.
  • Forge Strategic Partnerships
    Collaborate with private and public training providers to create innovative solutions tailored to manufacturers’ challenges.

Partnering for a Stronger Future
We also work hand-in-hand with other organisations to:

  • Inspire the Next Generation
    Engage schools through our Make it in Manufacturing initiative, building a robust talent pipeline for tomorrow.
  • Upskill Your Workforce
    Develop programs that support the growth of both new hires and seasoned employees.
