Given the difficulty individual companies have planning for future journeyperson demands; the long lag between starting and completing apprenticeship training; the interdependent nature of automotive companies; and the importance of a highly skilled workforce to the attraction of investment, the concept of alternative approaches to workplace training for specialty-skilled workers warrant further consideration.
The “Advanced Manufacturing’s Specialty-Skilled Training Models” project proposes to identify and validate a specialty-skilled training model that can renew and revive recognizable apprenticeships among advanced manufacturing employers across the automotive industry. The model is intended to:
- Revitalize recognizable apprenticeships through specialty-skilled training programs;
- Assure a pipeline of specialty-skilled workers; and
- Increase competitiveness through incumbent workers’ skills upgrading.
