Japanese Innovation and Experiences Implementing New Technology in the U.S., From “Product Out” to “Market In”

～日米草の根交流プログラム：80年代からの対米進出日系企業の経験から：2020年代のIoTを活用する中・小規模生産現場での斬新な人材育成、労働力開発の紹介～

The Center for Professional Exchange (CEPEX), together with the Consulate-General of Japan in Nashville and University of Arkansas, invites you to join for a seminar on how to address workforce development issues and the 21st century workplace under the U.S.-Japan collaboration. The event will be held at the Walton Conference Hub, Reynolds Center of University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR.

The manufacturing industry has been transitioning from labor-intensive to advanced manufacturing systems with automation, robotics, IoT and AI. This shift has created a growing skills gap that requires new ideas and approaches and reskilling employees. Presentations will cover this change, as well as real-time examples at a Japanese-owned reverse service operation in the U.S.
