Looking back at manufacturing technologies and workforce skills through the 90’s and 2000’s, there have been significant gaps in training provision and ever widening gaps with technology. Discussion will surround what the landscape for training provision looked like over the past 25 years and more so what it could look like in the future. We will explore the question ‘Should we be surprised that training for the latest and upcoming technologies is often a step behind?’ A short debate as to what the training landscape for the next two decades is likely to look like, and what challenges does it need to meet?
