... D Interim Report Appendix C This appendix is a reprint of the Appendix C text of the National Academies Interim Report: DoD Engagement with Its Manufacturing Innovation Institutes: Phase 2 Study (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2021) by the Committee on DoD Engagement with Its Manufacturing USA MIIs Phase 2 Study.
From page 192...
... While no single institute is undertaking all of the program elements delineated below, the ability to perform a number, with quality efforts, can be an important indicator of program strength. Accordingly, the committee believes that as part of MII assessment, best EWD practices listed below could be considered in addition to numerical training and job numbers.
From page 193...
... • MII EWD programs could consider and be engaged in both national and regional EWD programs in their technology areas and could assess how these national and regional programs can best intersect for mutual support. • In their regional engagements, MIIs could consider active collaborations with other MIIs for broader program offerings beyond a single technology, since employers tend to want skills for sets of integrated technologies, not a single technology focus.
From page 194...
... MAPPING ACTIVITIES Mapping skill demand -- MIIs could map and periodically update future em ployer demand in MII technology skill areas, both in the MII's region and nationally. Skill roadmaps -- MIIs could develop and periodically update "skill roadmaps" (with worker demand in the MII's technology and corresponding education plan ning)
From page 195...
... Is the MII attempting to obtain and obtaining additional funding to support and scale its EWD efforts from sources, apart from DoD ManTech core funding, to sustain broader EWD impact? STAFFING The MII could obtain experienced staff to work on EWD efforts, with experience working with industry education programs of particular use.
From page 196...
... In developing credentialing efforts, they could tap into the industry technology experts, not simply industry human resource officials, for credential development advice. A system could be in place for periodically updating credentials.
From page 197...
... ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION Particularly in "further out" technologies, MIIs could leverage existing programs and develop new ones to engage and educate entrepreneurial and start-up firms in their technologies. • Since the number of new manufacturing firms is in significant decline, technology entry by new firms can be important to MII success over time in enabling their new technologies to develop.
From page 198...
... 1. In collecting data on numbers of students or workers it educated and trained, is the MII collecting information on whether those education en tered positions or performed work based on the training?
