Director of Education and Workforce IACMI The Composites Institute
Advanced manufacturing requires a workforce capable of making technologically advanced products efficiently. The presentation provides best practice examples of how to provide tailored workforce training in advanced methods. Emphasis is on examples of industry standards that have been enhanced by digital tools, simulation, and hands-on experiences. Data gathered from the completion of training using competency-based learning, paired with interactive and VR training, will be shared. A need for upskilling as well as entry-level hiring is provided in examples of adaptable training efforts that pair technology with strong industry training partnerships. The presentation will give foundational data, case studies, references, and a solid base for stakeholders seeking solutions for manufacturing challenges that can be addressed early in the development of new products, materials and technology. Efforts to design manufacturing will be shown. Examples of early concentration on who will be able to make the product efficiently, accurately, and with traceability throughout the manufacturing process will be shared.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion the attendees will understand options for developing advanced manufacturing employees utilizing measurable technical training solutions.
Attendees will be able to describe key advanced manufacturing skill areas that are applicable to prepare employees for multiple jobs.
Upon completion, participants will be able to understand at least three national training solutions that are accessible as they build and upskill their workforce.
