Presentations from the Workforce Development Summit on Advanced Manufacturing

Ed Werstein published this note over at a new site for Southeastern Wisconsin. 

I attended a Workforce Development Summit on Advanced Manufacturing in January. It was held at the Performance Institute in Arlington, Va.There were many good presentations. I am posting three items that were presented by:Eric A. Roe, Ph.D.Director, FLATEFlorida - Advanced Technological EducationCenter for Manufacturing EducationPrincipal Investigator, Employ Florida Banner Center for Manufacturingroe@fl-ate.org813.259.6579

Since manufacturing is at the heart of our regional economy, I was interested in this presentation on how Florida, or this part of it (not traditionally a manufacturing area), is transforming itself. It seems to me that we need a similar campaign to get past the declining image of manufacturing that exists in our region for a variety of reasons.
