The third edition of our Skills Gap Summit was a resounding success, providing a renewed opportunity for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the exploration of innovative strategies to tackle the growing skills gap in the industry. Seeing the community of our summit grow with every year and hearing the discussions during the day reinforced the significance of the skills gap challenge in our industry.
Once again, our summit served as a platform bringing together manufacturers, workforce development professionals and academic institutions to discuss valuable perspectives on how to bridge this gap and address the critical shortage of skilled workers.
A special shout-out goes to our esteemed speakers who generously shared their expertise and sparked engaging discussions. Together, we are actively shaping the future of the industry and empowering the next generation by equipping them with the essential skills needed.
