The Competency Crisis - Phil Kerner "The Tool & Die Guy" on Manufacturing Apprenticeships & Hiring

Phil Kerner has been interviewed by CNN, the BBC, and other international media outlets on the state of manufacturing in the U.S. in the light of tariffs, aging workforce, and declining domestic production. He's been in the tool and die trade for over 40 years and is passionate about transferring knowledge from his generation to the next. In this podcast we dig deep into the strategies the U.S. needs to employ to bring the work here, and how we'll find the talent necessary to produce the goods. We talk about a plan for the state of Pennsylvania to grow their manufacturing sector, and what they'll need to do to get the next generation trained.
