Ford program eyed to boost skills for Cleveland students
A Ford funded initiative offers a survey course in manufacturing, statistics and problem solving, workplace technology integration, and case studies on manufacturing issues. Summer internships with local manufacturers will be available. Ford will provide 35000 dollars to train district teachers and cover start-up costs. United Auto Workers leader Jerry Melillo urges education to compete with major automakers. Lerche says the program aims to expose career options and real life math science and communication uses, not train workers for Ford specifically.
