Manufacturers can help close the skills gap by embracing the very thing workers are looking for – technology. Learn from the perspective of a third-generation family-owned business that has doubled to 70 employees over 2 years by using technology, robotics, and automation to capture tribal knowledge, empower their current workforce, and successfully recruit and retain the next generation. A collection of experiences will be shared as candid examples, specifically in finishing, on what’s working, what’s not working, and how this industry can overcome it.
