Workforce Development and 'the Skills Gap' with AAM President Scott Paul

Published: June 13, 2017, 7 p.m.

Leslie is joined by Scott N. Paul, President of the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), a partnership established by some of America’s leading manufacturers and the United Steelworkers union.

They discuss how despite President Trump talking about workforce development, his actions speak louder than his words. Specifically in the form of significant cuts to workforce development programs in the President's proposed budget.

They also talk about how we can close our country's 'skills gap' and help Americans find better-paying jobs, as well as the effect that robotics has had on labor and our workforce.
