United States
Join us for a 2-part series about the federally funded ManufacturingUSA Institutes! These multi-million dollar public-private partnerships are focused on moving cutting edge technologies from research labs through production into our hands. Each of the 14 currently funded institutes is working with the best research organizations in their technology domain. More importantly to technician educators, each institute must invest in the "K-gray" education and workforce development.
Part 1 of our series is a panel of education and workforce leaders from institutes, who will give our audience a snapshot of the futuristic technologies they are working on; as well as, a high-level overview of their workforce development plan as a backdrop to more details about their activities focused on technician education and training.
