Automation: Planning for Tomorrow’s Workforce Needs
Tuesday, June 27, 2023 | 3:30 PM - 6:00 PM
With the unemployment rate remaining around 3.77% in Central Minnesota, the great resignation of baby boomers, and only one job seeker available for every two job openings, employers are struggling to compete for top talent. This has led manufacturers to develop other talent pipeline opportunities through upskilling and automation. At this event, we will:
- Review Central Minnesota’s current and future labor market data
- Hear directly from local manufacturer’s automation success stories
- Discuss grants and loan opportunities available to manufacturers for manufacturing equipment and employee upskilling
Learn about past, current, and future labor trends in manufacturing in Central Minnesota. We will dive deeper into how automation can help assist in current employment obstacles.
Panel Presentation:
Hear from local automation experts and manufacturers who have implemented automation as they share best practices, lessons learned, expected ROI, and what's next. Experts from the financing side will help you understand the resources and options available.
