Sporting Goods Production Workers

No experience is needed to work in entry-level production jobs, but those with prior work experience will increase their chances of landing a job, getting promoted, and possibly earning higher pay.

Sports equipment production workers generally need good eyesight and manual dexterity to work with small parts and operate machines. Interest in sports can be an advantage. For example, it helps for workers who shape baseball gloves to have experience playing baseball and using gloves, so they know the feel of a good fit. Other important traits include strong communication, organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills.
