Manufacturing USA institutes are not only involved in education and workforce development but are also at the forefront of shaping the jobs of the future. By collaborating with manufacturing ecosystems, they “reverse engineer” future job roles by understanding industry challenges, identifying core competencies, and establishing key performance metrics. This process enables the institutes to define specific roles and develop training programs that equip workers with the skills needed to excel in these positions. Here is a look at two significant initiatives that highlight this impact.
Creating the First Online Robotics Career Portal
The ARM Institute has launched www.roboticscareer.org – the nation’s first resource to connect manufacturers, workers, and job seekers with education programs to develop skills for careers in automation and robotics. ARM Institute collaborated with more than 400 member organizations to define robotics skill sets, competencies, and career pathways. The site contains thousands of current job listings, details about 16,700-plus training programs, and provides information on more than two dozen certified training programs that have been endorsed by the industry through the ARM Institute.
