Detroit Regional Manufacturing Skills Alliance

History

• In late 2006 the Detroit Regional Chamber was selected as the convener for the advance manufacturing Regional Skills Alliance or RSA

Mission

• The manufacturing sector in Southeast Michigan has the workforce needed to successfully compete in the global economy.

Key Elements/Outreach

• Employers

• Government

• Education

• Labor

• Non-profits

Four areas of concentration supported by RSA

• Our role must be the connector, helping to eliminate duplication of programs an aligning resources. Partnerships and Collaborations are key drivers.

• Communication to and with the public (which also includes examining and improving the image of the industry

RSA Focus Continued

• Establishment of a web portal dedicated solely to manufacturing workforce needs. The portal will provide access to education and training courses, certificate and degreed programs that are available to their incumbent workforce.

• Identification and marketing of model programs developed and delivered by various groups, especially those that have the manufacturers as a key element in the creation of curriculum and implementation. Employers will be able to access data that is comprehensive and topical.
