 Vets Graduate with Enhanced Tech Skills

 
ManpowerGroup and Rockwell Automation celebrate the first military veterans to graduate from the Academy of Advanced Manufacturing and secure high-paying jobs in the rapidly evolving manufacturing industry. 
The 12-week program launched last August combines classroom learning with hands-on lab experience. Veterans are trained in Rockwell Automation’s state-of-the art facility in Mayfield Heights, OH for in-demand jobs in advanced manufacturing.
All of the graduates are in the process of being placed into new jobs with some receiving multiple job offers that significantly increase - some graduates even doubling - their previous salaries, according to ManpowerGroup and Rockwell Automation, both of which are based in Milwaukee, WI.
“This program felt like it was made just for me,” says Travis Tolbert, U.S. Navy veteran and academy graduate. “It focused on controls and automation, which is something I've always wanted to do, but was never able to do until now. The academy helped me take my military skills and understand how I could make them relevant for jobs outside of the Navy.”

The manufacturing sector in the U.S. is estimated to produce up to 3.5 million new jobs over the next decade, ManpowerGroup and Rockwell point out. With close to 2.5 million manufacturing workers set to retire by 2025 and on-going skill shortages, up to 2 million of those new jobs could go unfilled, note ManpowerGroup and Rockwell.
Military veterans often work in tech-intensive roles, and with on-the-job training these adjacent skills can be transferred to roles in advanced manufacturing.
“Manufacturing employers in the U.S are experiencing a significant gap between the skills they need and the skills people have. Our solution was to look for people with adjacent skills - skills that are closely connected and can be adapted easily, developed and applied to new roles,” indicates Becky Frankiewicz, president of ManpowerGroup North America.
“Veterans share many skills that are relevant to manufacturing - including effective problem-solving and a teamwork mindset. This program is a win-win. We’re helping servicemen and -women earn more and stay employable for the long term while helping employers address their skills gap.”
“We’re honored to recognize our first military veterans to graduate the Academy of Advanced Manufacturing,” says Blake Moret, CEO of Rockwell Automation.
“We’ve seen their unique combination of core work and tech-savvy skills evolve to successfully position them for careers in the industry. We’re confident this program will help solve a challenge critical to the growth of advanced manufacturing.”
The program expands Rockwell Automation’s long-standing engineer-in-training (EIT) program, which combines classroom learning with hands-on lab experience, producing hundreds of graduates annually.
It also adds to the number of programs ManpowerGroup provides for military personnel, veterans and spouses, including the following:
More than 10 years of Defence Force Recruiting (DFR) in Australia: ManpowerGroup Australia’s public-private collaboration with the Australian Defence Force (ADF) has filled 7,000-plus jobs each year in the Navy, Army and Air Force. DFR has achieved impressive results in the diversity space: more than one in four recruits are women, and in the Navy and Air Force it’s more than 40 percent; and the percentage of Indigenous people joining the ADF is currently double their representation in the Australian population. 
For more than 10 years, the U.K. Career Transition Partnership (CTP): An agreement between the Ministry of Defence and ManpowerGroup’s Right Management U.K. that has helped more than 180,000 veterans find sustainable employment by adapting their qualifications to new roles outside the armed forces.
