industry needs skilled workers to innovate and grow."
In 2019, CTA signed the White House
Pledge to America's Workers promising
to expand programs that educate, train
and reskill American workers from
high-school to near-retirement age.
More than 60 CTA member companies
have pledged a total of 2.5 million training and education opportunities -
almost 20% of all pledges made to date.
One powerful example of the new
training opportunities CTA member
companies are making - at CES 2020,
Bosch announced a commitment to
train 20,000 associates to be "AI-savvy,"
or well-versed in AI. The company plans
to train 16,000 executives on the business aspects of AI and nearly 500 engineers in AI development methodology.
"Rapid advancements in areas like
artificial intelligence and machine learning have the potential to create 60 million new jobs by 2022, but those jobs
will go unfilled unless business leaders
help shoulder the responsibility of educating and upskilling our existing workforce," said Mike Mansuetti, president,
Bosch North America. "These types of
training programs, complemented by
apprenticeships, STEM education in
K-12 and more, are critical for the
industry and future of America's economic success."
CES 2020 also celebrated the progress of the CTA Apprenticeship
Coalition, which IBM President and
CEO Ginny Rometty and Shapiro
announced on the keynote stage one
year earlier. Since the original
announcement, over 40 CTA member
companies have committed to learn
how to create and scale apprenticeships
for careers in fast-growing fields including software engineering, data analytics,
project management and mechatronics.
Members of CTA's Apprenticeship
Coalition now offer apprenticeships in
28 states, and four member companies
