A recent article in Autodesk’s Redshift online magazine identified 6 ways that companies can start upskilling to support the adoption of advanced manufacturing.

The adoption of digital technologies is transforming advanced manufacturing resulting in both changes to nature of work and the requirement for new skills. In order to maintain future employability, workers need to become more tech savvy in order to fully utilise technologies such as robotics as they are deployed in manufacturing environments. The six key areas to consider for manufacturing organisations to consider when upskilling their workforce:

1. When Upskilling for the Future, Keep Skill Sets Human
2. Be Open to Online Communication in Your Upskilling Strategy
3. Remember to Be Patient: Skill Upgrades Require Trust
4. Don’t Confuse Transformation With Revolution
5. Let New Employees Be Digital Catalysts
6. Leverage the New Drive for Apprenticeship
