News & Announcements November 2023

In this “Automation Chat” podcast from The Journal From Rockwell Automation and Our PartnerNetwork™ magazine, Executive Editor Theresa Houck chats with Jim Rupert and U.S. Navy veteran Kyle Radley from system integrator EOSYS. They explain how manufacturers can benefit from the Academy of Advanced Manufacturing (AAM), a joint initiative created by ManpowerGroup and Rockwell Automation to provide U.S. military veterans with upskilling for advanced manufacturing roles, helping provide them with jobs and helping manufacturers fill open positions.

Radley also explains what AAM training entails and how he got his EOSYS job. The audio podcast of this chat is available on your favorite podcast app or on the web at https://bit.ly/3Pnr6Bc.
