From Skills Gap to Shop Floor Impact: Workforce Training That Works

Workforce shortages are one of the biggest challenges facing Maryland manufacturers today – and it’s not just about hiring. It’s about time.

Finding people with the right skills is tough. Finding time to training them is even harder.

In this session, Amtek and Amatrol will share practical strategies to help manufacturers build a more capable workforce without pulling critical staff of the floor for generic, one-size-fits-all training. You will learn how manufacturers are identifying the specific skills their teams need – and don’t need – to save time and reduce training costs.

In this webinar, we will cover:

• The most in-demand technical skills manufacturers are prioritizing for training – like troubleshooting, PLCs, electrical systems, and mechanical drives – and why they matter on the shop floor
• How to create individualized training plans that focus only on actual skills gaps
• Real examples of manufacturers successfully up-skilling teams
• Tools like eAssessment that help you pinpoint exactly what your team needs to learn – and skip what they already know

Whether you are onboarding new employees, reskilling current, or just trying to do more with less, this session will give you strategies to build skills that stick – without wasting time or resources.
