DESIGNING THE NEXT GENERATION OF SKILLED CRAFTSPEOPLE
THE PROBLEM
-
We are rapidly losing a precious resource in our country - skilled workers who can build things, create things, and fix things
-
The retirement of baby boomers and resurgence of manufacturing and other technical skills industries is creating a huge gap in the technical skills workforce
-
For example, more than 2 Million jobs will go unfilled in manufacturing in coming years due to shortage of skilled workers (see below)
