Advanced Manufacturing
Advanced manufacturing is a fast-growing industry in Birmingham and Reinvest Birmingham connects residents in the North Birmingham, Northside, Pratt, and Smithfield communities to training programs and employers ready to hire.
The Opportunity
Advanced manufacturing careers offer competitive wages, long-term stability, and real room to grow. Birmingham-area manufacturers are actively hiring — from entry-level production roles to skilled technical positions. Many offer on-the-job advancement, meaning the job you start in doesn’t have to be the job you stay in.
The Training
Reinvest Birmingham partners with workforce training providers, including Lawson State Community College, to prepare residents for in-demand manufacturing careers. Programs cover the technical skills employers are actively hiring for — and no college degree is required. Whether you’re new to the field or looking to advance, there’s a pathway designed for where you are.
The Support
Training is just the beginning. Reinvest Birmingham offers childcare assistance, expanded transit options, and guidance from workforce partners to help you get to training and stay on track. We work alongside you from enrollment through your first day on the job — and beyond.
