Field Trip
Developing a Workforce for the 4th Industrial Revolution
We are at the forefront of a new revolution in industry, every bit as momentous as the invention of the steam engine, mass production of the automobile, computers and the internet, and now robotics, flexible manufacturing, and artificial intelligence. In this field trip, you will see how LIFT, a Detroit-based research and learning lab, the Saginaw Intermediate School District, and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers have implemented programs that lead to industry recognized certifications to prepare the “4IR” Workforce. In this session, you will learn how to connect with national organizations who are passionate in their support of schools developing students for new jobs, in this new economy.
