Upskilling for Reshoring: Empowering Engineering and IT Teams for Local Manufacturing

April 29, 2025 Sean Smith

Reshoring is not merely about relocating operations; it's about elevating your workforce. Engineering and IT managers must lead the charge in equipping their teams with the necessary tools and training to support high-efficiency production in the U.S.​

Addressing Skills Gaps

The shift to local manufacturing can expose skills gaps, especially with the retirement of experienced workers. Identifying and addressing these gaps through targeted training programs is crucial for maintaining productivity and quality.​

Importance of Ongoing Training

Continuous training and certification, particularly in Autodesk tools, ensure that your teams stay current with industry standards and technologies. This ongoing education fosters innovation and adaptability within your organization.​

Supporting IT Infrastructure

IT leaders play a vital role in supporting secure access, data governance, and user provisioning. Implementing robust IT frameworks facilitates seamless collaboration and data management across departments.​

Strategies for Continuous Improvement

Establishing metrics for performance tracking and encouraging a culture of continuous improvement helps in sustaining the benefits of upskilling initiatives. Regular assessments and feedback loops are integral to this process.​
