Why Do We Have A Skills Gap? • Under funded High School Programs • Temporary funding, if any • Students are not exposed to skill trade careers • Students don’t choose a career in skill trades • Lack of skilled workers for industry • Many are pushed into UW track; not informed of all options 4
The Solution to the Skills Gap • Creating a self funding sustainable advanced manufacturing program that teaches not only the in demand technical skills but also the essential employability skills • A student run enterprise • Cardinal Manufacturing 5

My Philosophy • When I started teaching, I thought that I should teach all of my students technical skills at the highest possible level. Now thanks to the guidance of so many great people, I understand that I need to teach students to be good people and good employees first and then the technical skills will follow. • You will get what you expect. 8
Student Run Enterprise Model • Delegation • Teacher become the facilitator, not traditional teaching • Teacher doesn’t need to be the expert • Students forced to problem solve. They don ’ t know what they don ’ t know. • Confidence & Communication Increase • Self Teaching, Higher Learning. • High Expectations 9
