An Easier Path to Smart Manufacturing Skills in the Workforce

Advanced technologies are opening new doors for today’s workers, offering unparalleled opportunities to upskill existing talent and prepare new entrants for high-paying careers in advanced manufacturing and energy industries. With Smart Manufacturing at the forefront of this revolution, skilled technical talent is more important than ever.

During this Lunch & Learn, you'll gain insights into how key technologies such as:

• 5G Wireless Tech
• Industrial IoT (Internet of Things)
• Industry 5.0: Where humans and robots collaborate
• Smart Factories
• Robotics

are transforming the manufacturing landscape.

We are excited to feature SACA (Smart Automation Certification Alliance), who will share how communities can accelerate the availability of training for these career pathways. Discover how industry-driven micro-credentials can shape workforce training programs, allowing workers to accumulate valuable skills that can be applied toward emerging two- and four-year degrees.

Your Voice Matters!

We will be gauging training needs during this event to understand how we can better meet the demands of our local workforce. This will also help provide valuable insight into our Applied Technology instruction and serve as part of our ongoing Advisory Committee efforts to strengthen partnerships between education and industry.
