And of those that do make it, most don’t aspire to work in manufacturing! And… parents, teachers & counselors don’t advocate this either!
The Growing Skills Gap• 5% percent of manufacturing jobs are unfilled due to
a lack of qualified candidates.• 83% of manufacturers expect shortages to get worse
in the next three to five years for skilled production.*• 74% say shortages have a significant impact on their
ability to expand operations or improve productivity.**
• Manufacturers report a need for over 600,000 skilled workers in the U.S.

History of AMTEC2005 – KCTCS original proposal to NSF
To develop an automotive collaborative—successfully awarded
April, 2005 Flagship Meeting
27 college representatives and 28 business representatives from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, Texas and South Carolina, to determine interest in the establishment of a National Automotive Center…resulting in the establishment of AMTEC.
2005 Planning Grant
The purpose was to determine if colleges would come together to benefit the development of the future automotive workforce
2006-2009
AMTEC was awarded a 2 year $3 million ATE Project that was extended through 2009
September 2009
AMTEC was awarded a 4 year $5.5 million ATE National Center of Excellence in Advanced Automotive Manufacturing.
Background - Our Original GoalTo help industry meet the following
challenges:• Develop current workforce standards for
Multi-skilled Maintenance Technicians• Develop competency measurement tools• Prepare the workforce to be globally
competitive• Increase workforce productivity• Develop a pipeline for the future workforce
AMTEC 2 National Center Goals
• Implement industry-led, advanced curriculum and certificates to increase student exposure to critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.
Goal 1 –
• Institutionalize the AMTEC Career Pathway model with current AMTEC colleges and their secondary school and industry partners
Goal 2 –
• Expand the AMTEC instructional and industry-endorsed collaborative model for the partners to grow, sustain, and replicate within other industry sectors
Goal 3 –• Drive performance improvement through the use of
performance measures that systematically align AMTEC organizational direction and resources
Goal 4 –
Gaining Consensus1. We used a method called a “DACUM” with “DELPHI”
2. We realize that good education and training is good for all of us; it’s good for our workers and our students; it’s good for the United States!
3. We compete with our products…
4. AMTEC’s training is on common, core technology and processes for manufacturing -not proprietary technology or specialized processes

Dr. Manley, asked Toyota Craftsmen: what do you do all day?Identified 26 Core Duties & 170 tasks
One duty was “Mechanical Equipment” which had 13 tasks
Each task, was further defined into sub-tasks and supporting information
Task A1—Details continuedCalculations Communications Technology Safety
Measure in decimals (thousandths)
Interpret written work order Principles of brakes
Common safety practices
Basic mathVerbal with co workers
Basic mechanical skills PPE
Metric measurement; conversion Verbal with operator
Electrical and mechanical brakes Pinch points

Emerging AMTEC Career Pathway Model
Requires a model that supports the automotive manufacturing sector and other advanced manufacturing to:•Offer a flexible career pathway to fit unique
needs of students, employees, and employers to identify and prepare the current and future workforce
Employer Driven Pathway Model
Emerging AMTEC Multiple Pathways
Common Theme & Findings
Common Themes1. Exemplary career pathways required articulated
industry, high school, college, and ISD relationship2. Exemplary programs defined roles, responsibilities,
and contributions in Memorandum of Agreements3. College provided wrap-around services are central
to student success4. Best programs identify customers and have
implemented continuous improvement feedback loops (Baldrige)
5. Mature program partnerships created a trust foundation that fostered innovation
Exemplary Variables That Played Out in all Exemplary Programs• Addressed a defined industry need• Exemplary Programs had identified Internal and
external champions with a vision to build the “future” pipeline
• Senior leadership at colleges support for the concept
• Galvanizing vision for exemplary programs came before the dollars
Findings
Exemplary Variables That Played Out in all Exemplary Programs• Universal programs all benefit, especially minority students• Dual Credit (academic rigor) that addresses the higher
industry standards but may leave unprepared students behind
• The “applied”/contextual learning dimension of CTE programs reinforces learning and relevance
• Paid internships and Co-Op can be a game changer for both students and employers
Findings
Findings
Instructional Transformation • Connects high school to college career pathway
– (All)• Connects from workforce to college career
pathway – (All)• Allows for non-credit to credit conversion – (All)• Values and aligns credits and industry
certification – (Alamo, FLATE)
Findings
Exceptional Leadership at all levels
• (1) Policy, (2) Executive, (3) Operational, (4) Instructional, (5) Student Services
Competent and enlightened instruction (open to ideas for improvement)• Instructors connect with students; strong industry ties; SMEs; wanted to
know best practices
Defined articulated pathways to demand occupations
• Students, faculty, and program staff know how programs work. They can explain their career pathway and their next step in the process.
Partnerships • Employers, Schools, Colleges, Universities,
Government, and CBOs codified in MOAs - (All)
Wrap Around Services• Provides career guidance, academic counseling,
mentor financial assistance, internships or apprenticeship opportunities for student success - (All)
Findings
Continuous Improvement• Utilizes data to improve performance and
student success - (All)
Sustainability • High blending multiple funding sources;
Strong Executive Level and Board Support -(All)
Findings
Conclusions1. We looked for programs that operational the
components identified in the literature since there were few examples of exemplary pathways provided. We wanted to explore what was out there.
2. Many of the six AMTEC element characteristics were seen in the sites. We were able to identify what was in place and what was not. However, our findings are limited to observations.
Conclusions3. Career pathways that utilize the six AMTEC
elements can be used by both secondary and post secondary institutions to increase the number of secondary students receiving post secondary technical education.
4. The quality of industry and college partnerships was linked to the level of commitment and engagement of college and industry leadership.
4. The secondary schools, colleges, and industry partners benefit when all aspects of the career pathways model are understood and defined.
5. The case study researchers note that there is no cookie cutter approach to creating exemplary career pathway programs. However, the case studies reinforce the importance of the six effectiveness variables/characteristics reflected in the AMTEC model.
6. Finally – Emerging literature such as the Harvard Pathway to Prosperity Study reinforces the AMTEC observation that Employer Engagement is the X factor in successful Career Pathway Programs.

STUDENT VOICES
Student Voices• I feel like I am more “respected by being in the program” (peers and
parents).• I know what and where I am going with my life while most of my
friends do not. • Most of my friends don’t have a clue about their futures. I do.• I feel like there is a lot of pressure for me to do good in the program. • We, the students and teachers, are like a family…we help one

INDUSTRY VOICES
Industry Voices• We understand that these programs produce our future workers.• We are very satisfied with the graduates and have no problem letting
other companies know.• Our Industry is constantly changing so education must do the same.• We need to attract those students that are not going college. Right?• For us soft skills and basic skills are still necessary for job success.• If things are bad now, wait until our valued skilled workers
retire…and it will be sooner rather than later. • We found that the young men and women that we hired are amazing,
all they needed was an opportunity. • Our industry does not understand education but we try to help in
anyway we can.
