LIFT IN DETROIT - What is LIFT?
What is LIFT? One of only a handful of Manufacturing USA Institutes across the country, LIFT is a nonprofit, public-private partnership between industry, academia, and government that supports the nation’s economy and enhances its national security by accelerating innovative advanced manufacturing technology and talent development.
In this video, STEM Talent Program Manager Bernie Simms, Learning Lab Manager Jihad Mims, and Learning Lab/Robotics Instructor Isaac Vanover discuss LIFT’s unique mission to research and develop innovative lightweight materials that advance the nation’s military defense and manufacturing capabilities.
According to Mims, “We also realized that there’s a very large skills gap. Over 2.5 million jobs within manufacturing were going unfilled, so to bridge that gap, we also wanted to make sure that education and workforce development was implemented in LIFT’s atmosphere. ”
That’s why you’ll find a wide variety of Amatrol training systems and eLearning curriculum in the LIFT Learning Lab. Amatrol also partnered with LIFT to develop the IGNITE: Mastering Manufacturing high school career and technical education program.
