Reskilling and adapting: Finding success amidst a changing workforce – Ep. 1

It’s no secret that there is a significant shortage of both the quantity and quality of talent in manufacturing. The industry is technologically evolving, the current workforce is aging and supply chain instabilities are causing organizations to consider onshoring or nearshoring their operations—all of which are contributing to the shrinking talent pool. The solution to this growing workforce challenge? Investing in reskilling, upskilling and education. 

In this podcast, Rahul Garg, VP of industrial Machinery at Siemens Digital Industries Software and Dora Smith, Senior director of Global Education and Startup Strategy at Siemens, discuss the challenges and potential solutions related to the workforce skills gap in manufacturing. 

You will discover:  

  • How automation and other technologies are enhancing manufacturing capabilities, making it crucial to upskill the workforce. 
  • Effective strategies for bridging the skills gap, including long-term recruitment and retention plans, partnerships with schools, internships and providing continuous learning opportunities. 
  • Siemens’ shift towards “learning as a service,” which blends digital and traditional learning methods for a more flexible and effective educational experience.
