Our Mission

MAKER Multipliers is an initiative of the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT), a nonprofit committed to advancing the global competitiveness of the region’s manufacturing supply chain, and is made possible through funding from Stanley Black & Decker’s “Empower Makers” Global Impact Challenge.

Our Mission is to identify a group of MAKERS from neighborhoods and communities and help them spread the word about manufacturing careers throughout Connecticut to multiply future MAKERS.

MAKERS, Employers and Educators, will you join the movement?

MAKER Multipliers, supported by Stanley Black & Decker, will be part of a connected and inclusive platform to help transform the manufacturing workforce of the future.
