At the National Association of Manufacturers, the Manufacturing Institute explores new approaches to supporting US manufacturers. With the arrival of Emily DeRocco, the Institute expanded its mission by establishing a National Center for the American Workforce and a National Center of Manufacturing Research and Innovation.

I'm in Washington today to participate in a new Education Council to support these efforts. The Council is composed of representatives from secondary and postsecondary schools. We are going to explore for major topics today:

A 21st-century career and technical education agenda: creating educational pathways K-Gray.
Innovation in the manufacturing economy
Education and adult literacy
Manufacturing skill certifications

I'll report what I learn in this blog post.

Ed,
Ask Emily if the One-Stop system could partner with NAM in providing the MCSC testing at our sites?
Thanks
