Why is now the time for training? Prime Influencers Deglobalization – Manufacturing is critical to our economy. In order to be competitive vs. low labor cost countries, US manufacturers must automate more and more processes. To achieve this, upskilling of existing workforce is needed. Industry 4.0 – The Fourth Industrial Revolution is here and bringing with it new technologies which requires continuous training Covid-19 – The way humans work together could be forever changed. Work from home, ability to work in close proximity, and now the need to be prepared for Covid-XX. Further, deglobalization will accelerate as a result of the pandemic. The implementation of collaborative robots will increase to further distance employees. Availability of skilled workforce – There is a gap between existing education output capacity and industry needs/demand. This coupled with the above factors will only widen the supply vs. demand gap. 5

Training is an investment – not an expense Training should be a primary part of annual budgets. Remember, would you rather train and employee and have them leave or not train them and have them stay? Further, employees value training and new opportunities leading to longer tenures. • According to Training Industry Report (see reference below) – during and after the recession, training investments dropped. Then in 2011, we saw a surge in spending for training and development. So you are only delaying the investment when you cut training budgets – yet you lose the productivity gains in the mean time. • There are many grants and incentive programs from State and federal Governments that will reimburse training expenses. • Training must be part of a company’s competitive strategy to ensure. This ensures the ability to meet the demands of today and the ability to quickly adapt to rapid changes in technology and disruptions like covid-19.
