What Skills Do Metals Employees Need And How Can MSCI Help?

With Rockwell Automation and PTC software, the Manufacturing Institute recently released a study that examines where the manufacturing sector is headed over the next five to 10 years and how those changes will impact the skills employees must have to help their companies grow.

The report found:

• Companies are finding a greater need for individuals with data analysis skills to help leverage the data that technological advances have produced.
• Despite advances in automation, companies still see the value in interpersonal skills, particularly communication and collaboration.
• Critical thinking, problem-solving, and an agile mindset are skill sets that manufacturers will need more and more in the future.
• Companies are looking to invest more heavily in training programs to develop and grow employees in the skills that are needed.

No matter where an individual is in their career or at their company, the Metals Service Center Institute (MSCI) offers education and training opportunities. From Online Manufacturing Training that helps close skill gaps and enhance long-term success to Strategic Metals Management, a strategy and leadership education program designed specifically for metals leaders, MSCI has something for everyone.
