Gen Z in Manufacturing: Young Workers Can Challenge the Traditional Process
b'
Welcome to another episode of Gen Z in Manufacturing, a podcast where I interview young workers about their jobs in the manufacturing industry and what they look for from an employer.
For this episode, I welcome Max Fisher, a 25-year-old product manager at Infor, a company that provides business cloud software products specialized by industry.
Fisher began working for Infor in 2021 after graduating from Furman and Clemson. While in college, Fisher collected three bachelor\\u2019s degrees, two master\\u2019s degrees and won an ACC Championship as a member of the Clemson Tigers men\\u2019s soccer team.
Fisher has held three roles at Infor and currently manages Infor\\u2019s newly launched Enterprise Automation solution and Innovation Showcase program. In this role, Fisher combines his technical, organizational, communication and business skills to bring a product to market and grow the Infor OS business.
Much of Fisher's time is spent with other Gen Z-aged workers. He helps manage an intern program and his direct team features three recent college graduates. Communicating with workers his own age comes easily, but Fisher stressed the importance of receiving guidance, mentorship and challenges from more experienced colleagues.
