International automakers continue to drive the strength and competitiveness of the U.S. auto industry through sustained investment, manufacturing growth, and consumer choice. With more than $125 billion invested in American operations and industry-leading light vehicle production, our members remain committed to building in the United States.
International automakers are deeply rooted in states and communities across the country. Their U.S. footprint includes 500 facilities and nearly 9,500 dealerships that support local jobs, generate tax revenue, and contribute to economic growth. From manufacturing plants and research centers to dealerships and training programs, these operations create lasting value well beyond the vehicles they produce and sell.
A pipeline of skilled labor is critical to driving growth and success in today’s U.S. automotive industry. International automakers are offering workforce education programs that encourage students to pursue career and technical training while giving current employees opportunities to reskill and upskill their manufacturing abilities.
Our members provide meaningful career paths that create wealth, security, and opportunities for American families in all 50 states.
Employees are afforded competitive wages, comprehensive benefits, skills training, and growth opportunities, from the shop floor to facility management. And these opportunities are driven forward by international automakers’ investments in upskilling and reskilling through workforce development programs.
