Helping Local Employers Prepare the Existing and Future Workforce for Industry 4.0 will address the need for specifically trained talent in the Region 2 workforce by creating experiential learning opportunities in specific local technologies and drafting a non-credit curriculum for existing workforce development. By convening employers and identifying specific Industry 4.0 technologies in use at their facilities, the Virginia Tech Grado Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) will acquire the appropriate technology and develop experiential learning opportunities in its Learning Factory for training employees and students.
