The growing concern of the quality of manufacturing and supply chain education
One of the biggest challenges facing our industry today is workforce development. The fact is there is a significant shortage of skilled workers in manufacturing and the supply chain.
The U.S. is falling behind our major competitors in math and science achievement, graduating significantly fewer engineers, and experiencing a major skills gap for production employees. This is at a time when manufacturing in the U.S. is becoming more complex, jobs require ever greater skills, and the current workforce is quickly approaching retirement age.
Addressing this shortage will lead to future manufacturing and supply chain advancement across the globe.
