Good Evening ,
In my hometown we have a Manufacturing Group that gets together once every 2 months to discuss labor issues , the economy , etc.
I suggested getting a sub-committee together to explore ways to fill the Skills Gap. As we all know it is very difficult to find good maintenance technicians.
I suggest that we visit schools , even Middle Schools . I would like to build a "mobile " automation lab , and take to the schools , speak to parents about a career in manufacturing , etc.
I know we have a uphill battle , but would you guys have any ideas ? Are you folks doing anything in your areas ?
Thanks so much for your thoughts and advice ,
