054. Industrial Future Series - Closing the Industrial Skills Gap

Описание: Workforce attrition is a real problem in industry and Jason Simon is on the frontlines combatting it head on. At AMTEC he works hand in hand with industry professionals and educators to bridge the gap of skilled labor for the industrial workforce. In this episode Jason opens up about how significant the issue is and how by listening to the needs of industry they are designing solutions to get the skills taught in an efficient and effective manner.

The gap in education and industry is wide and they move at different speeds. Education tends to adapt slower and with the changing needs of the market industry moves at breakneck speed. Having a unique approach to this problem and developing a solution that scales to meet the demand is key. Jason does a fantastic job of explaining how they are filling this gap and offers practical tips that others can adapt. This conversation can help anyone in industry that sees this problem first hand and wants to know "what can I do".
