OM Podcast #19: U.S. Manufacturing Careers and College Students

In our most recent podcast, Barry speaks with Mike Nager, an executive at the large German firm Festo Didactic. Mike is the author of Smart Student’s Guide to Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0, and is an advocate for U.S. manufacturing careers.  Barry and Mike discuss the awareness gap around U.S. manufacturing.  Mike tells us that manufacturers are offering lucrative, technology-driven careers, and that he and Festo Didactic are doing innovative things to help prepare students for those careers.
