The integration of new technologies and techniques into manufacturing--including robotics, artificial intelligence, and data analytics--is helping to refine production processes and create new, cutting-edge products. Jobs in advanced manufacturing are among the highest paying, and private investment in the sector reaches into the billions of dollars. Even so, companies across this sector have struggled to fill positions because of a lack of employees with the requisite skills. Stepping up to meet this need, the State University of New York's (SUNY) community colleges are leading the way in developing advanced manufacturing workforce training programs that attract and help grow these companies, and the Empire State is witnessing a boom of economic activity as a result. SUNY community colleges are uniquely poised to train students for this sector and serve as engines of workforce development both locally and statewide, owing to their accessibility and affordability. Partnerships with advanced manufacturing companies are helping to develop curriculum, build training facilities, and provide scholarships that create direct pipelines to employment. These partnerships already have been transformative for thousands of students, and are generating enormous benefits for SUNY's community colleges, for area employers, and for numerous regions across the state. Interest and excitement around advanced manufacturing is playing out not just at SUNY community colleges, but in community college systems from one end of the country to the other. In May 2023, the Rockefeller Institute of Government assembled a meeting of state, local, and industry leaders to discuss the future of advanced manufacturing in New York State. Now, this report showcases initiatives by SUNY community colleges to prepare students for careers in this growing field, based on interviews conducted between April and June 2024 with leadership at the colleges and representatives from their partner advanced manufacturing companies.
