Our nation faces a growing shortage of skilled metrology professionals.
This gap threatens to erode innovation, weaken safety protocols, and disrupt critical supply chains. To secure America’s leadership in science, technology, and manufacturing, we must elevate metrology as a national workforce priority and invest in the next generation of measurement experts. Advancing America’s metrology workforce is not a luxury—it is vital to National Security. Calibration technicians are the unsung professionals behind safe aviation, sterile surgical instruments, accurate diagnostics, and reliable microelectronics. Sustaining U.S. leadership in innovation and manufacturing requires strategic investment in those who uphold measurement accuracy and standards compliance.
Help build our nation’s skilled Metrology workforce – support the Metrology Institute.
