Industry 4.0 Credentials for Engineering, Manufacturing, Automation, & Robotics

Monday August 3, 2026 4:00pm - 4:45pm PDT

Meeting Room # 3

From the first industrial revolution to today's Industry 4.0, manufacturing has transformed, and our CTE programs must evolve to keep pace. Drawing on ten years as an Advanced Manufacturing Instructor, I'll share real classroom experiences building and growing programs that prepare students for modern industry. Learn how I implemented nationally recognized industry credentials across engineering, manufacturing, automation, and robotics pathways, giving students workforce-ready skills employers demand. Whether you're launching or expanding a program, I'll provide practical guidance to bring these credentials into your own classroom.
