New apprenticeship initiative to boost skills in robotics, advanced manufacturing
Robotics leader Fanuc is teaming up with Wisconsin-based Rockwell Automation to form an accelerated work and learn apprenticeship initiative. The program is designed to upskill current and future workers for jobs in advanced manufacturing, robotics, and automation.
The companies have developed a credential program, which includes fundamental robotics (Robot Operator) and automation (PLC Operator). The program offers a second level of credentials for Robot and PLC Technicians.
