Description

Join the U.S. Small Business Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, and OpenAI for the first-ever Manufacturing Workforce Expo at Atlantic Technical College. This half-day event will equip small manufacturers, students and aspiring apprentices with practical resources to boost manufacturing production through workforce development programs and advanced technology. The inaugural Expo will provide education on leveraging apprenticeship programs to build a job-ready manufacturing workforce. Attendees will learn about SBA programs available to small businesses, DOL workforce development initiatives, apprenticeship opportunities through Atlantic Technical College, and ways to increase productivity with artificial intelligence. Small manufacturers will also have an opportunity to connect with students who are seeking employment opportunities. This event advances SBA and DOL's memorandum of understanding to support American manufacturing through enhanced collaboration and data-sharing across key programs. Additionally, the Expo is designed to cultivate a pipeline of skilled workers while also promoting capital and contracting opportunities for domestic producers – 98% of whom are small businesses.
