Women in Manufacturing and Case Western Reserve University Partner to Produce Leadership Lab for Women in the Manufacturing Industry

CLEVELAND–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Women in Manufacturing™ (WiM) and Case Western Reserve University’s
(CWRU) Weatherhead School of Management today announced the creation of
a Leadership Lab for Women in Manufacturing, which will provide
executive education and training to WiM members in mid- to high-level
management roles in manufacturing careers.

Scheduled to launch this spring, the Leadership Lab for Women in
Manufacturing program consists of three sessions over eight days on
topics including Women in Manufacturing: Bias Barriers and
Opportunities; High-impact Leadership for Women in Manufacturing; and
Skills and Strategies for Leading the Way Forward in Manufacturing.

“WiM is thrilled to be partnering with Case Western Reserve’s
Weatherhead School of Management to offer this outstanding program to
our members,” said Allison Grealis, president of WiM. “As the only
national trade association dedicated to providing year-round support to
women in manufacturing careers, WiM is always looking for new ways to
help our members thrive. The Leadership Lab for Women in Manufacturing
program is an example of our ongoing commitment to women’s leadership in
the manufacturing sector today and into the future.”

Leadership Lab for Women in Manufacturing builds on the success of the
CWRU’s Leadership Lab for Women in STEM that was created in 2014 to
provide professional and leadership development for women in
male-dominated occupations. Courses will be held on the CWRU campus and
taught by faculty members Diana Bilimoria, PhD, Ellen Van Oosten, PhD,
and Kathleen Buse, PhD.

“We are excited to be launching the Leadership Lab for Women in
Manufacturing to provide WiM members with the tools, skills and
competencies needed to create opportunities for themselves in the
manufacturing sector,” said Buse, faculty director, Leadership Lab for
Women in STEM. “From our past Leadership Labs, we have found that,
within six months of finishing the program, 40 percent of the women had
sought and obtained a promotion. We look forward to working with WiM
members to help them leverage their strengths to achieve continued
success in their careers.”

This program is generously supported by the GE Foundation, whose funding
will allow women who work in small to mid-size manufacturing companies
to participate.

Registration rates for the Leadership Lab for Women in Manufacturing
program depend on the size of the company, and scholarship opportunities
may be available from WiM based on specific eligibility requirements.
