DMG MORI, Illinois Tech Establish National Center for Advanced Manufacturing
February 1, 2023
DMG MORI and Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois Tech) have announced their intention to establish a national center for advanced manufacturing, which aims to be one of the nation's first joint university and industry academies to train, develop and empower the advanced manufacturing workforces of the future.
The partners hope the national center will play a critical role in the nation's goal of preparing the millions of workers needed to revive the advanced manufacturing industry in the United States, including the semiconductor industry. This national center will directly help the Chicago region become a hub for developing and supporting a local and national workforce of high-growth, high-paying and high-tech manufacturing jobs. The national center will seek and will welcome a wide array of industry and higher education partners across Illinois and the region to ensure the greatest possible economic and workforce development impact.
Located at Illinois Tech's historic Bronzeville campus on the South Side of Chicago, the national center's academy will provide in-person and online curricula that are aligned with burgeoning industry workforce needs and important economic and national security priorities. The launch of the national center is ideally timed to help Illinois capitalize on the new programs and investments in the CHIPS Act by utilizing its industry and educational expertise to expand U.S. manufacturing.
In establishing this national center, Illinois Tech and DMG MORI will pool their complementary capabilities to expand and modernize the manufacturing capabilities of the greater Chicago area and the Midwest in support of needs in the semiconductor, aerospace, defense, health care and automotive industries.
