FANUC America’s “Join the Automation Generation” Education and Career Video Series shows how more automation workers are being developed to fill the growing need.
In 2018, Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute announced the manufacturing skills gap in the US could result in more than 2 million unfilled jobs by 2030. Five years later, the skills gap is absolutely real. Companies can’t find people to operate, maintain and run their equipment, and with the industry becoming more automated, the problem is only increasing.
That’s why FANUC America partners with over 1,500 high schools, tech training centers, community colleges and universities to offer hands-on training of FANUC automation products that align with the industry’s needs. But to solve this skilled labor shortage, an all-hands-on-deck approach will be needed with help from businesses, industrial equipment manufacturers, education networks and public-private partnerships.
These videos highlight how the advanced automation skills gap is affecting those in the industry as well as what is being done to solve it.
