ent. =E2=80=9CFloridaMakes is working to ensure Florida=E2=80=99s preparedn=
ess to fill the estimated 4.6 million manufacturing jobs of the future. Man=
ufacturing=E2=80=99s biggest hurdle is the workforce skills gaps and the IM=
T program addresses the foundational manufacturing knowledge apprentices ne=
ed to succeed.=E2=80=9D Launched in June 2020, the IMT program brings Flori=
da=E2=80=99s manufacturers a competency-based, hybrid training model that a=
ddresses entry-level skills gaps and provides foundational manufacturing kn=
owledge regardless of the specific occupation. This approach bypasses the n=

ion issues of employees.   Additionally, FloridaMakes will work closely wit=
h CareerSource Florida regional Workforce Boards in Central Florida, Browar=
d, Flagler/Volusia counties as well as rural counties. There are several wo=
rkforce training fund grants that can help aide an employer to cover the co=
sts of enrolling an apprentice into the IMT program.   For details about ho=

h employers and employees, visit floridamakes.com/imt.   ###   About Florid=

ant from DOE that strengthens Florida&#x2019;s manufacturing workforce,&#x2=
01d; said Tina Berger, FloridaMakes&#x2019; Director of Manufacturing Talen=
t Development. &#x201c;FloridaMakes is working to ensure Florida&#x2019;s p=
reparedness to fill the estimated 4.6 million manufacturing jobs of the fut=
ure. Manufacturing&#x2019;s biggest hurdle is the workforce skills gaps and=
 the IMT program addresses the foundational manufacturing knowledge apprent=

<div><span style=3D"font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Taho=
ma, Geneva, sans-serif;">Launched in June 2020, the IMT program brings Flor=
ida&#x2019;s manufacturers a competency-based, hybrid training model that a=
ddresses entry-level skills gaps and provides foundational manufacturing kn=
owledge regardless of the specific occupation. This approach bypasses the n=
eed for employees attending courses at institutions and provides flexible a=
ccess to accommodate varying schedules, family commitments, and transportat=
ion issues of employees.</span></div>

CareerSource Florida regional Workforce Boards in Central Florida, Broward,=
 Flagler/Volusia counties as well as rural counties. There are several work=
force training fund grants that can help aide an employer to cover the cost=
