Closing the Skills Gap: Greg Jones on Empowering the Next Generation of Manufacturers
Join us as we talk with Greg Jones about SME's longstanding efforts to bridge the manufacturing skills gap. Discover the evolution of the IMTS Smartforce Student Summit, designed to inspire K-12 and post-secondary students with interactive, hands-on experiences. This year's highlights include mobile labs from the College of DuPage, ACE, and Toolkit Technologies. We also shine a spotlight on the Miles for Manufacturing Run, which has raised over $113,000 in 2024 to support Chicago Public Schools. Greg underscores the critical role of integrating emerging technologies like AR, VR, and AI into educational programs, equipping the next generation for thriving careers in manufacturing.
