Some specializations exist in the region, such as sanitary paper products, ammunitions, iron and steel pipe and tube, electronic connectors, and unlaminated plastics.
Individuals working in the manufacturing career cluster typically require at least a high school diploma, though there are some cases where this may not be required, or where a higher degree may be more advantageous.
Maintenance and repair workers, mechanical engineering technologists and technicians, welders, computer numerically controlled tool operators, and a variety of other occupations are included in this cluster.
