This
summer, FLATE and Manufacturing USA are hosting a two-part webinar 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.
The
first webinar, hosted on May 16, was a panel of education and workforce leaders
from the Institutes who gave the 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. If you missed
this webinar or just want a chance to review it, you can catch up by listening
to a recording on Youtube here.
Part
two of the webinar series is happening on June 14, and you won’t want to miss
it! This webinar will host a number of NSF ATE funded projects and centers that
currently have working relationships with one or more of the ManufacturingUSA
Institutes. This panel will present opportunities for community colleges as
well as funded projects and centers to work directly with the Institutes to
learn about and better understand the future technician workforce skill needs. Click here to register for the June 14 webinar!
For

Director of FLATE, at barger@fl-ate.org.
