PR97444
MISSION, Texas, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
At the heart of any successful business is a motivated and capable workforce.
And at the heart of any successful region is a strong and competent workforce
pipeline. It equips companies with the necessary knowledge and skills to
navigate the global marketplace. The Rio South Texas region understands that,
and it demonstrates this understanding through the various public & private
industry certified skills training programs, college-level dual-credit programs
in high school, and the future-focused higher education institutions operating
in Rio South Texas.
One great example of that is South Texas College's (STC) collaboration with
FESTO and Fuji Automatic Numerical Control (FANUC), providing certified
training programs on some of the world's most advanced Industry 4.0
manufacturing solutions to entering and experienced manufacturing industry
professionals. FANUC is a leading supplier of robots, computer control systems,
and factory automation, while FESTO's solutions are among the world best in
Industry 4.0 factory floor and digital twin environments.
And it isn't just state-of-the-art manufacturing talent that is home-grown in
Rio South Texas. The science of advanced materials used in the manufacturing
processes of today and tomorrow is also being learned by the students in Rio
South Texas, for example at The University of Texas – Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV)
in their advanced nanoscience laboratory. The laboratory's research is
primarily focused on experimental and theoretical condensed matter physics,
with a wide range of solid-state phenomena being examined at the nano-structure
system level. Partners for the program include the National Science Foundation,
the Air Force Research Laboratory, and NASA.
These are only a couple of examples of the workforce development programs in
the Rio South Texas region being leveraged to provide local companies and
prospective investors with talent in industries such as battery, biotech,
mobility, energy, and aerospace! With a strong and competent workforce
pipeline, as well as partners in North America and across the globe, the
students of Rio South Texas educational institutions of today are quickly
becoming the faces of globally successful companies of tomorrow.
If you are looking to manufacture products in North America for North America,
