E R U T U F E H T R O F G N I K R WO THE FAYETTEVILLE CHAMBER is making sure the city’s workforce is equipped with the skills businesses need. Below are some of the ways the Chamber is growing tomorrow’s workforce. LEADERINME® LeaderinMe® is a program based on Steven Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and helps students develop leadership and life skills needed for success in the 21st Century. The program is currently in Washington, Holcomb, Owl Creek, Vandergriff and Asbell Elementary Schools. The students and faculty actively participate in training sessions to improve student behavior, leadership, attendance, student and family engagement and academic results. REGIONAL ROBOTICS CENTER In 2019, the Fayetteville Chamber’s new Regional Robotics Center will teach people to operate and program the types of robots used by many companies in our area. Industry leaders Fanuc Robotics and ABB Robotics designed the Center’s training program and will certify graduates. High school graduates can complete training at the Robotics Center in 90 days or less (giving them a jump-start on a career). Current workers can also use the Center to advance their skills. 64 | FAYETTEVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
