9. Why the need for LMV Technical Training Center
The Current Issues for Missouri (US??) Manufacturing
As manufacturing facilities continue to expand, they will require more skilled labor
Struggle to find skilled workers to support manufacturing operations
No pipeline of skilled labor
New hires have skill-gaps
LMV currently hires skilled contract workers from outside the state of Missouri and outside the county to support daily manufacturing needs due to the lack of skill labor with in the region
LMV Technical Training Center
Will create a workforce with industry valued skills
Increase the economic competitiveness of the region’s manufacturing and technology industries
Provide critical link between education, economic development and workforce needs

Training Center Goals
To develop highly qualified skilled trades people
Enhanced practical level of training
Allow high school students in the future to enter into the program through internships (strong partnership with Northland CAPS)
Partner with local community colleges to develop manufacturing programs
Community colleges to teach onsite the theoretical courses
Develop partnership with Missouri Universities for internship for Mechanical Engineers Specializing in Welding
With the dramatic increase of manufacturers in the Kansas City/ Liberty Missouri region, the local community college infrastructure was not prepared for the training requirement need to support the new influx of manufacturing.
