On Wednesday February 20, 2019 Senator Mike Braun stopped by Indiana Medical Device Manufacturing Council (IMDMC) member Genesis Plastics Welding and met with CEO Tom Ryder to tour the facility and see Hancock County manufacturing firsthand. As an Indiana business owner, he can relate to the hurdles HR teams face with the current low unemployment rate and a growing need for skilled workers within Indiana advanced manufacturing. Braun discussed a continued positive momentum to take our state’s workforce to the next level with a focus on education and training for high-priority industries and in-demand jobs. He also discussed other challenges small to mid-size businesses face, such as the rising costs of health insurance for employees.
