As a follow-up to one of the questions in class yesterday, here is some background on manufacturing workforce efforts. There are a couple of major organizations and trends that you should be aware of. One of them is the Chicago Renaissance Council. They have been very successful in training young people for manufacturing jobs.
The Manufacturing Institute is the research arm of the National Manufacturers Association. Their primary focus right now is the development of manufacturing skills standards to make worker training and mobility easier for both workers and employers.
The National Governors' Association Has produced a number of useful background reports including A Sharper Focus on Technical Workers: How to Educate and Train for the Global Economy. There are several reports on TLED related topics.
