Workforce Development Survey – Italian Machinery

FB International is proud to announce a partnership with the Italian Trade Agency and UCIMU. We will survey manufacturers across the Midwest and contribute to the creation of advance workforce development programs.

The Calumet Green Manufacturing Partnership (CGMP) was a life-changing experience for me. Over the span of a few years, I visited over a hundred manufacturers located in the Southland/South Chicagoland. Together we were able to train 176 unemployed people and over 85 of them were hired by more than 30 companies.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with the Italian Trade Agency and UCIMU to form an exciting initiative similar to CGMP. More than ever, employers want the most qualified workforce—at the best price—in order to keep up with the rapid development of new manufacturing technologies (CNC, robots, automats, IoT, materials, 3D printing, etc.). Sponsored by the leading Italian industry associations, this project is the first step in the development of advanced training programs for new and incumbent manufacturing employees in the US. This is a great opportunity for businesses across the Midwest and their employees.
