GRAND RAPIDS – The use of connected technologies in today’s workplace environments is changing skill sets required by the workers of today – and tomorrow – around the nation and around the world, and Michigan is no exception. As more and more industries in our state are engaging the use of the Internet of Things or connected technologies such as those required for autonomous vehicles, the training required to perform jobs in every industry needs to adapt just as quickly as the technologies themselves do.
In order to help Michigan get ahead of the curve on this issue, the Workforce Intelligence Network is moderating a meeting of the MAGMA Advisory Council (Michigan Alliance for Greater Mobility Advancement) on September 16. An expert panel at this event will discuss topics such as CAV/IoT hiring, training and talent challenges, as well as regional overviews of CAV deployment activities.
Listen as Melissa Birnie interviews David Palmer, Director of Business Partnerships WIN, as they discuss the changing skill sets and training needs, as well as the upcoming MAGMA event.
