Summary of Findings
1302 7th Street NW, Rochester, MN 55901 507-292-5180 www.workforcedevelopmentinc.org
We verified the perspective of the current Atlantic Monthly article, “Making it in America”
• The manufacturing industry is alive and well in this country, but too many young people don’t know it
• There is a growing gap between the skilled and un-skilled manufacturing employees

Final Thoughts
1302 7th Street NW, Rochester, MN 55901 507-292-5180 www.workforcedevelopmentinc.org
• The content of what K-12 teaches may be less important than how it’s taught – inquiry-based education gets more buy-in
• If we need everyone in the workforce, and communication/social skills are critical, then we may need to focus on student interaction and differentiated instruction. Flipped classrooms?
