SUMMARY:Q3 Manufacturing Roundtable: Alternative Workforce Development for Advanced Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:For Worcester County manufacturers focused on attracting\, developing\, and retaining skilled workers\, apprenticeship programs can offer another approach to workforce development and long-term knowledge transfer. \nThis quarter’s program will welcome Matthew Allen\, Director of Careers and Education at the German American Chamber of Commerce\, Inc. (GACC)\, to present on its apprenticeship program\, with opening comments from Lucas Rehaag\, Executive Director of GACC’s Boston Chapter. \nBased on the German “dual education” apprenticeship model\, GACC works with companies across the U.S. to develop customized training tools and programs that support workforce retention\, capacity building\, and long-term knowledge transfer. \nManufacturers will learn how the apprenticeship model works and how structured training can help develop and retain skilled employees. \nGACC programs are nationally recognized as Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeships. The organization also serves as a J-1 Exchange Visitor Program sponsor\, helping expand the pool of qualified candidates and strengthen pathways into advanced manufacturing careers. \nRegister Here
