We Believe . . .
The workforce is
a competitive
differentiator in a
global economy.

We Believe . . .
The workforce
maximizes
manufacturing
companies’ technology
investments.
Copyright © 2012 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved.
We Believe . . .
Manufacturers face an ever-increasing
shortage of skilled workers due to a
“generational lack of interest” in
manufacturing jobs.
Copyright © 2012 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved.
We Believe . . .
New and emerging manufacturing jobs will
require at least a 2-year technical degree
to complement multi-craft skills.

We Believe . . .
Colleges are a critical entry way for the next generation workforce in
advanced manufacturing.

WHY?
Manufacturing is making a
comeback, but it’s evolving into a
very different type of worker.
Rockwell Automation believes in
partnerships with Education to
produce the next generation
workforce.
