Community College Tackles High-Tech Industry's Robotics Skills Gap

A regional community college is taking proactive steps to address a critical labor issue in the high-tech industry. Specifically, it's tackling the skills gap for technicians who assemble, test, install, and maintain robots and automated machinery. This move comes as the Robot Report highlights the urgent need for trained professionals in its STEM education series.

The Robot Report's Part 3 of their series emphasizes the current skills gap for automation technicians. To bridge this gap, WIFI Tirol, a Regional University of Applied Sciences, is offering a program to train these much-needed professionals. The high-tech industry, particularly the robotics sector, is facing a pressing labor issue that cannot be resolved by further automation. Instead, it requires a new generation of skilled workers to keep up with the demand for robotics and automated machinery.

The community college's initiative is a step towards preparing a new generation for these challenging and well-paying jobs. By addressing the skills gap, it aims to support the growth of the high-tech industry and ensure its continued success.
