This grant was awarded through the U.S. Department of Defense&#8217;s Manufacturing Technology Office. It will prepare students for advanced manufacturing jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Career Paths Are Being Forged In a Shifting Economy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The commonwealth of Massachusetts and its partners will allocate the grant funding to ensure workers have the proper skills. They will do this by creating a curriculum to teach advanced Manufacturing. This dedicated curriculum will combine all of Massachusett&#8217;s current education on traditional manufacturing with new skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The USDOD Manufacturing Technology Office chose Massachusetts because of the existing infrastructure in the state. They have great manufacturing education, standardized learning across the state as well as experts in this arena teaching relevant subjects. Also, in terms of education, MIT&#8217;s Office of Open Learning has been excellent in its commitment to digital learning, and skill access. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supercharging The Manufacturing Industry In Massachusetts <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Advanced Manufacturing offers middle-wage jobs with high-growth potential in robotics, 3D printing, and high-skill and well-paid jobs. Deloitte has projected that by\u00a02028 there will be a shortfall of over 2.4 million skilled workers\u00a0to fill these jobs. This means that there will be more jobs available than workers. Therefore, programs like this one are critical to the future of the U.S. economy, and its workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mass.gov\/person\/mike-kennealy-housing-and-economic-development-secretary\">Secretary Mike Kennealy<\/a><\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mass.gov\/person\/mike-kennealy-housing-and-economic-development-secretary\">&nbsp;<\/a>of the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development spoke on this, saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>This [grant] award is an essential national acknowledgment of Massachusetts&#8217; successes in Manufacturing and the competitive training programs that support our industry.
