Empowering the Future of Manufacturing
Industry Training Academy was developed as a consortium between key manufacturers in the “Industry 4.0 revolution”. The market need was to develop advanced manufacturing trainers for schools and training institutions to use for teaching integration of devices, robots, and controllers to help bridge the skills gap and plan for the future.
Some years later, the goal is similar but maturing…no longer is the need to get “real equipment” into the schools, but to provide for training organizations a complete package which will prepare students for the the future of manufacturing. This package includes core curriculum, developed by the OEM, but then integrated full-machine and multiple device scenarios, driving home real-world concepts and troubleshooting. This curriculum forces students to think outside of the box and work through problem solving scenarios, while getting comfortable with state-of-the-art technology with some of the largest manufacturers in their respective fields.
We believe that the future of success in manufacturing is through exposing our youth to hi-tech manufacturing fields, and re-training our workforce to be comfortable with new technology in order to solve problems. This will only happen through partnerships, and Industry Training Academy is a place where we can bring these partners together to collectively empower the manufacturing community to grow further, faster.
