Enhancing Education and Workforce Development Initiatives in Support of Defense Industries
August 30, 2024Under a cooperative agreement with the US Department of Defense Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) program, CREC is helping to leverage Education and Workforce Development (EWD) resources to leverage a stronger defense manufacturing workforce development ecosystem. Through this effort, CREC is tasked with developing a clearer sense of how the Manufacturing USA institutes approach EWD, including their capacity and priorities; 2) creating a database of stakeholders to include government partners / programs, industry and industry representatives, federal programs’ state-level networks, investment boards, and community colleges; 3) supporting communications and outreach; and 4) working to expand regional workforce development initiatives.
Senior Workforce Fellow Mike Gilroy will lead CREC’s work on this effort. If you have any questions about ManTech or any DOD related workforce development issues, please email Mike at mgilroy@crec.net.
