MCC Study Highlighted in Rochester Publication

The latest issue of Rochester Beacon features the Future of the Technician Workforce Study, led by MCC's Economic and Workforce Development Center.

Vice President Todd Oldham discusses the new study in the article "Gearing up for Industry 4.0" for the digital publication's Four Questions section:

  1. Why was this research necessary? How did it come about?
  2. In your opinion, what are the most significant findings of the study?
  3. How do you see digital industrial technologies impacting our region's future?
  4. How can the community participate in developing this next generation of technician workers?

The groundbreaking Future of the Technician Workforce Study by MCC's Economic and Workforce Development Center sheds light on most-in-demand skills and what the future of work looks like in the Finger Lakes region over the next five years and beyond as current and emerging technologies--including artificial intelligence and virtual reality-- transform businesses' operations.

The study is based on extensive input from over 100 industry professionals from 80 organizations representing four sectors across the region at a fall 2019 strategic planning workshop.
