A Big Deal for Finding Workers: AAM Helps Manufacturers & Veterans Team Up to Fill Jobs

** Named Best Podcast 2 Consecutive Years! 2022 & 2023 Apex Awards of Excellence.

The skilled worker shortage is stifling the manufacturing industry. Meanwhile, U.S. military personnel have incredible skills that would be valuable to manufacturers. Learn how the two are brought together by the Academy of Advanced Manufacturing (AAM), a joint initiative created by ManpowerGroup and Rockwell Automation to provide U.S. military veterans with upskilling for advanced manufacturing roles, helping them find jobs and helping manufacturers fill open positions. See how you can participate in the program too.

Also, Jim Rupert tells Executive Editor Theresa Houck how system integrator EOSYS benefits by participating in the AAM program, and U.S. Navy veteran Kyle Radley explains what the training entails and how he got his EOSYS controls engineer job.
