The role that automation plays in the future of our country has never been more relevant.
As companies strive to bring production back home to strengthen economic resilience and ensure operational stability, reshoring manufacturing is becoming increasingly important. But the success of this movement hinges on one critical factor—a highly skilled workforce ready to support the future of advanced manufacturing.
Results of last year’s Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute Talent Study provide deeply concerning estimates on the challenges we may face. According to the study, an estimated 3.8 million manufacturing jobs will need to be filled over the next decade, yet half of those positions are likely to remain vacant.
Across the U.S. and around the world, preparing the next generation with the education and training necessary to excel in the era of automated manufacturing is not just important—it’s essential to ensuring long-term innovation and competitiveness.
