IACMI Workforce Team Roles

A comprehensive initiative focuses on the development and implementation of proposals and bootcamp programs to enhance workforce capabilities. The team collaborates closely with project managers and subject matter experts to draft detailed grant proposals and orchestrate local bootcamps, aiming to train participants in specialized skills such as product development and composite materials selection.
