Workforce Development
“Robots and artificial intelligence may help us move faster, but they can’t be as creative as humans. As they become smarter we need to use different human skills to be able to manage them and work side by side with them.”
Ai Group – 2020
Adaptive skills are going to be more critical across Industry 4.0 jobs than they are today.
To digitally transform the industry and build the new industries of the future, we have to create opportunities for a more developed, diverse workforce to manage, design, and build the future with all the technological advantages that a highly skilled and adaptive workforce provides.
At the ARM Hub, we believe there are several paths to high-paying and in-demand careers.
Catalysing Workforce Innovation
- Connect companies, large and small, with the emerging workforce of researchers and students in the key fields of robotics, computer science and design
- Work hand in hand with the existing workforce to upskill and develop a culture of continuous learning
- Build ARM Hub’s educational partner network to promote broader participation in certification and educational programs
- Inform, educate and support companies through our expanding network of industries involved in workforce development programs
- Offer internships to corporate members and students
