TRANSCRIPT
The Chicago Jobs Council is an organization that works with its members to ensure access to employment and career advancement opportunities for people in poverty. Through advocacy, applied research, capacity-building, and public education, CJC aims to influence the development or reform of public policies and programs that guide and support welfare-to-work, workforce development, economic development and other initiatives that lead to jobs. We carry out our mission through a “working group process”: in monthly meetings, members identify and refine the issues where action is needed and likely to produce beneficial results for our constituents. Members and staff then analyze the issues, determine strategies, and carry out plans cooperatively, often engaging other coalitions and partners.

Symbol Training
Institute
Symbol’s History
• Established in 1985
• Industry needed an advanced manufacturing school due
to the lack of skilled labor and lack of formalized
manufacturing training
• Symbol has very close ties to the manufacturing industry
• Symbol understands the link between education and
industry
• Evolved into a training institute in 2005
The media has convinced everyone that:
• Outsourcing to China, India, and Mexico has
replaced the American worker
• The 3 D’s (Dark, Dingy & Dirty)
• Nothing is made in the USA anymore
Myths about US Manufacturing
Leads to GDP growth and productivity; Manufacturing supports 12% of the workforce (approx. 19 million)
Pays higher wages and benefits ($77,186) National Average vs. ($56,717) for non-manufacturing jobs (source NAM 4/2012)
For every $1.00 spent in U.S. manufacturing, another $1.42 is added to the economy
Manufacturing is the backbone of our country
• Defense
• Healthcare • Automotive
• Aerospace
• Green Technology
Truths about US Manufacturing
Top Threats to US Manufacturers
• Finding Qualified Workers
• Employee Competence & Knowledge
Issues Facing Manufacturing
CNC = Computerized Numerical Control
CNC machines are computer operated machines
used in the manufacturing industry to produce
parts out of various materials
What is CNC?
How do CNC machines impact us?
•Hands on Training
•Courses geared for modern machine shops
•Employer Driven
•Small Student to Teacher ratio
•Classes taught by 100% industry professionals
•Superior Job Placement and Retention Rates

Factory Automation
Quality Assurance
The Future of Manufacturing
Jobs and Careers
What is changing?
1. Technology
2. Organization of production
3. Business models
Do skills change as fast as the technology?
Multi-Axis CNC Machining (4th axis here)
More automation, more digital means:
more math
more programming
more problem solving
But some skills become
obsolete:
The organization of production was
transformed by
-- “Lean Manufacturing,”
-- Continuous Improvement,
-- Six Sigma
This requires:
• More teams and teamwork
• More problem-solving
• Reading and writing for research and
reporting
As business models move to greater
customization and customer service,
there is a greater need for
1. More communication skills
2. More social and cultural skills
3. More speed and flexibility in design,
production, and distribution. This
means:
• Better organization of production
• More creativity
The trend in careers is:
1. Higher skilled – and hopefully higher paid
2. Harder to gain entry
3. A High School Diploma won’t get you much:
need 1 or 2 years of Post-Secondary
4. More jobs with more companies – lateral
moves build skills and depth
5. Networking and social networking
6. Digital fluency and math skills required for
“middle skills”
How do we keep the low-
skilled/underserved in the hunt
for these careers?
How do you teach problem-solving?
How do
you teach
creativity?
Learn to problem solve by solving problems:
Problem-based learning
Learn to create by creating.
Project-based learning
To Simulate Future Careers,
1. Stress problem-solving
2. Stress teams and teamwork in solving
problems
3. Find ways to instigate creativity
