F. Results and Current Status
“Technical workers need to be better trained. They must understand complicated processes and be able to Predict, Prevent, Troubleshoot, and Solve Problems in a high pressure environment”
– The Automotive TechnicalEducation Collaborative
(AMTEC)
“Traditional technical education and training simply don’t provide such workers with the skills they need to succeed—or the skills their employers need to be competitive”
