Tackle the Skills Gap: Join the Automation Generation

The skills gap has hit both large and small companies in every industry. It’s a growing challenge to find people to operate, maintain and run equipment, and as industry becomes more automated, the problem is increasing rapidly.

That’s why FANUC America partners with over 1,500 high schools, tech training centers, community colleges and universities to offer hands-on training of FANUC automation products that align with industry needs.

We’re excited to launch a new video series focused on how the advanced automation skills gap is affecting those in the industry as well as what is being done to solve it.

Spotlight: Lorain County Community College

Lorain County Community College, one of the 1,500 FANUC America partner schools, educates advanced automation students using the “Train Ohio Earn & Learn” method. The program has a work-study approach where students can continue to work their full-time jobs while learning new advanced automation skills. While designing the program, the faculty found FANUC was used overwhelmingly in the local area, so incorporated FANUC automation products to fully prepare their students for these in-demand jobs.

Hear more from students who are currently enrolled in the program as well as the people who are educating them to work in advanced automation.
