Education and Workforce Development
As workplaces become more technology-driven, workforce readiness is critical. This research area develops the skills needed to advance innovation, safety, and productivity across industries.
Overview
Construction and other industrial sectors face persistent challenges related to safety, workforce retention, and productivity, which are increasingly intensified by the demand for advanced technical and professional skills in technology-driven work environments. Although these industries are investing in sensing and data-enabled systems to support informed decision-making, a critical gap remains in workforce readiness to develop and sustain these solutions.
This research area of the SI³ Lab focuses on advancing education and workforce development frameworks that align emerging technologies with industry-relevant competencies to strengthen safety, efficiency, and workforce sustainability.
