Business Case
Opportunity
When Mazda Toyota Manufacturing USC was preparing to open a grand new plant, the growing economy in advanced manufacturing and robotics in the Huntsville Madison County region, raised concerns that demand would exceed supply of local skilled workforce.
Solution
They joined with the regional Chamber of Commerce to implement a strategy that would prepare an immediate and future workforce to fulfill their corporate goals.
Utilizing Workbay, the Chamber brought all local stakeholders together. School District, Colleges and Community Organizations and local businesses joined with Mazda Toyota to develop an online curriculum in work-skills readiness and career pathway exploration, virtual field trips and career fairs, guest speaking and more.
Outcome
The Chamber’s award-winning platform created new workforce partnerships across this forward-looking economy.
In addition, the successful system was utilized when Covid interrupted on-boarding; Mazda Toyota found an additional use for the Chamber-managed Workbay platform to provide outreach and engagement with new hires.
