Technology Impacts on Industry and How to Prepare Future Workers Now

ABOUT THIS MEETING

Technology has changed almost every product, both the way they are made and function. In the next 10-20 years, the concept of manual labor will be heavily impacted by autonomous and robotics themes. This will touch most every industry, especially manufacturing and healthcare. Educators need to embrace this change and make sure students will be trained in a multi-disciplinary manner, including the use of a variety of technologies to fill the needs of employers.

This meeting also included the culmination of the DEC Career Readiness Academy (CRA) program. High school students utilized the skills they learned during the 6-month career exploration program by networking with attendees. To learn more about CRA, click here.
