Modern manufacturing is evolving , and so are the skills required of modern technicians. This has created a skills gap between what students are taught and what is expected of them on the modern shop floor.

That’s why partnering with MEERA is so vital; we’ve created a competency-based program to motivate and train students for the advanced jobs ahead. The MEERA program will aid in creating a more robust national workforce pipeline – starting with middle school.
