Show Notes
Nebraskas new statewide program, launched during Manufacturing Day, aims to train workers for manufacturing jobs and alleviate the labor shortage. The initiative, involving the State Chamber Foundation, the Department of Labor, and six community colleges, offers modular training leading to a Level One manufacturing certification. This setup transforms community colleges into apprenticeship centers, with funding for instructors, equipment, and student support. The program targets high school students, GED seekers, recent grads, and current workers, offering free training for up to 231 participants annually, including stipends. The eight-module curriculum covers safety, quality control, blueprint reading, and lean principles. Funded by $7 million from the states workforce fund, the program is set to launch this spring, with a pilot group already training at Metro Community College.
