The manufacturing industry has been transitioning from labor-intensive to advanced manufacturing systems with automation, robotics, machine learning and AI. This shift has created  growing skills gap that requires new ideas and approaches to training and re-skilling employees.

CEPEX invites you to join us for a discussion of potential U.S.-Japan collaboration on how to address workforce development issues and the 21st century workplace. The keynote speakers will share their insights through presentations on “From Product Out to Market In, Change Your ‘80s Mindset” and “New Reverse Logistics.” Following the presentations, a panel discussion will be moderated by Ivy Tech Technology Dean, Darrel Kesler.
