Episode 22: Remedies for the Workforce Skills Gap
Show Notes

The manufacturing industry in the US could be facing a precarious situation in the near future. By the year 2025 there could potentially be 2,500,000 US manufacturing jobs that go unfilled. What's more is the fact that many manufacturing facilities have equipment that spans generations. This requires personnel to hold a vast amount of knowledge and mental agility; being familiar with current technology and be capable of troubleshooting decades old installations. Fortunately, Rockwell Automation is here to help remedy this issue with their Learning+ platform. Join Brian Fortney and myself as we discuss remedies for the workforce skills gap.
