SUMMARY:Town Hall | Tomorrow’s Industry Today: Technology\, Skills Training\, and Safety
DESCRIPTION:MAY 25TH\, 2023 10:30-12:00PM\n\n\n\n\nTECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS IN DIGITIZATION\, AUTOMATION\, ROBOTICS\, AND AI ARE DRIVING A SEA CHANGE FOR INDUSTRY.\n\n\n\n\n\nTechnology investments in digitization\, automation\, robotics\, and AI are driving a sea change for industry. They are reshaping production facilities. Eliminating hazardous jobs. Changing hiring and training requirements. And these changes are creating increasing demand for new skills\, retraining\, and risk assessments.  \nIn the manufacturing and food processing sector\, leading employers are addressing the hiring crisis in part through investments in automation and AI solutions to improve throughput while eliminating many health and safety risks for workers. But for many in the sector\, major technology upgrades remain out of reach.  \nBritish Columbia’s 2023 budget earmarked $480 million in new provincial funding to help build a workforce prepared to meet the demands of the future through skills training\, and labour market solutions. And an expanded $90 million in provincial grants program for manufacturing provides a new route for small to medium-sized companies to pursue technology upgrades for safe and sustainable operation. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this webinar you will learn\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this industry town hall:  \n\nSee how companies are leveraging automation to grow their production capacity despite workforce shortages—and offer team members safer\, more engaging work.\n \nFind out how new technology has changed their hiring needs\, re-training approaches\, and health and safety programs.
