In this episode of Manufacturing an American Century, I sit down with Josh Cramer. At the time of our recording, Josh was serving as the Director of Education and Workforce Development at America Makes and has now gone on to another important position, now the Associate Vice President - Workforce Development at BlueForge Alliance. In the pod, we talk about the intersection of technology and workforce development in manufacturing. Josh and his team are tackling a big challenge—getting small-to-mid sized manufacturers (SMMs) to adopt technologies like 3D printing, which can transform not only products but entire manufacturing processes, businesses and communities. And we're not just talking about technical training here; America Makes knows that workforce development includes educating both students and incumbent workers, showing people how they can apply new tech in practical ways that deliver value and make products that solve problems.A big theme today of our discussion is the “national strategy with a local impact” model that America Makes follows. Josh explains how real change is happening at the regional level and why initiatives must respect and adapt to local needs. He also shares how 3D printing and additive manufacturing bring incredible entrepreneurial opportunities—not only for big businesses but for everyone, like the “Tech Moms” program that helps mothers in Utah return to the workforce with new skills.If you're curious about what it takes to drive national manufacturing growth at a local level, or how additive technology is making big waves in traditional industries, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.
