Survey of Connecticut Manufacturing Workforce Needs
In 2017, CBIA conducted a survey of manufacturers, updating the previous survey conducted on behalf of the RCNGM. The survey assessed manufacturers’ current needs, where manufacturers are finding workers, what positions are difficult to fill and where they see skill shortages and how that can be rectified. The survey was presented at a business conference sponsored largely by the RCNGM and attended by more than 250 manufacturers and educators.
Industry-based Educator Externships
Bringing relevancy into the classroom and updating educators’ skills have been critical goals of teacher externship programs. The COT-RCNGM has historically promoted bringing teachers into industry so that they can experience firsthand how advanced manufacturing has evolved over the years.
