Added Stephanie Steffens, Director of the Colorado Workforce Development Council, “We are excited about the resources available at the site, particularly because it all fits in perfectly with the Governor’s Blueprint for economic development within the state. The jobs in advanced manufacturing have the potential to deliver rich, meaningful careers to workers in Colorado who can point with pride at the products they helped create.”

The website is designed for students, workers, and veterans in Colorado to help them learn about the many educational and career opportunities available to move into, or upward, or across, in advanced manufacturing.

Some of the features of the site include:

Skills Crosswalks, to help workers who seek to move into advanced manufacturing careers understand how the skills they have fit into a new career path and what additional educational training and skills they will need to accomplish the move.
Job Types with rich detailed job descriptions for workers and students outlining what it is like to work in these advanced manufacturing roles for those who are curious about the kinds of jobs in advanced manufacturing.
A Career Map which helps the user visualize an entire industry and learn what educational paths to follow to move upward or laterally.
A special section created specifically for veterans where they can see how the skills and training they acquired while serving our country can help qualify them for a career in advanced manufacturing. Today’s manufacturing jobs are perfect for transitioning service members and veterans who can be employed and live comfortably in a growing career field with relatively little post-service training required.
