Caterpillar Invests in U.S. Manufacturing and Future Workforce Skills Training

Caterpillar Inc. recently announced that Indiana will be among the first states to receive funding from its 5-year, US$100 million ($140 million) workforce pledge, and has committed up to US$5 million ($7 million) to training and upskilling efforts across the state. The pledge, announced as part of the company’s Centennial celebration, aims to grow interest in advanced manufacturing careers and prepare U.S workers for the future, unlocking quality jobs and industry-wide innovation.
Caterpillar will announce future workforce pledges in other states soon.

Caterpillar made the future workforce announcement at the company’s large engine facility in Lafayette, Indiana, which recently announced a US$725 million ($1 billion) capital expansion – one of the largest single manufacturing investments in the company’s global history – to greatly increase engine production and help meet the nation’s growing power needs.

“The demand for energy is increasing like never before,” said Jason Kaiser, Caterpillar Energy & Transportation Group president. “Many of the engines manufactured here in Lafayette will support power generation customers by providing reliable power – keeping operations running during outages and helping meet the growing energy needs driven by AI, data centers and other critical infrastructure across America and around the world.”

One of America’s oldest manufacturers, Caterpillar is a part of the country’s infrastructure, with more than 65 primary locations across 25 states and independent dealers from coast to coast. As a net exporter, Caterpillar workers in the U.S. build products that are shipped around the world.
