2020 Additive Manufacturing Workshop Final Outbrief Workforce Development Co Leads: Josh Cramer (josh. cramer@ncdmm. org) Michael Britt-Crane (michael. d. britt-crane. civ@mail. mil) 1

Workforce Development Objectives: • Identify and define roles specific to additive manufacturing across the Do. D enterprise and industrial defense base • Assess skills and knowledge of those roles against the additive manufacturing body of knowledge • Review of additive manufacturing body of knowledge

Workforce Development Sub-Working Groups: • Acquisition Coded Professionals • • Do. D Technicans • • Co-Leads: Josh Heller, Dave Heckman, Ashley Totin Do. D Management/Leadership • • Co-Leads: Dave Ludwa, Whitney Tharp, Shawn Nesmith Do. D Engineers • • Co-Leads: Ron Edmunds, Christian Grethlein, Brian Yoo, Alex Steeb Co-Leads: Brad Ruprecht, Christina Maranto, Tiffany Westbay Industry • Co-Leads: Lawrence Binek, Travis Mayberry

Workforce Development Steps/Actions Completed: • • Workgroup was assembled in 5 breakout teams specific to focus roles Each breakout session and subgroup team focused on a specific goal: • 1 st Session: Identify roles specific to additive manufacturing and define those roles – add job codes where applicable. Teams also ranked these roles in magnitude. • 2 nd Session: Building from the first session, teams took those defined roles and aligned them in both knowledge and performance-based skillsets to the additive manufacturing body of knowledge. Teams also noted specific roles where there needs to be awareness of additive manufacturing. • 3 rd Session: Assessed the additive manufacturing body of knowledge for gaps, updates and missing content across the Do. D and industrial defense base at large

Workforce Development Open Actions / Post AM Workshop Actions: • • Continue to have detailed collaboration between OSD Man. Tech EWD and America Makes to jointly drive this work force Continue the work through joint efforts of JAMWG EWD Working Group and America Makes and embed into the EWD Roadmap at America Makes to potentially house the AM BOK for all groups to leverage and utilize as they need Establish a cadence or communication to key stakeholders in both the Do. D and Industry

Workforce Development Issues / Challenges Identified: • • • Some of the information gathered will be was narrower focused than intended – future to expand to wider audience Starting (not new to many) to see consensus in the need of awareness education/training Uncertainty of “how far” to drill down into some roles and entities – still a need to define and align Will continue to be a need for very “specialized” training in certain roles Integration into legacy systems, definitions and roles Need validation beyond the workshop

Workforce Development Key Takeaways: • • • All groups felt a need to standardize as much as we can in roles, language and definitions Increase collaboration across the teams and stakeholders to better leverage resources and opportunities Better communication of both assets as well as who, what where, when and how around trainings and credentials More integration across the larger AMMO Workshop teams Need for more diverse and expanding stakeholder group • Let’s keep going!
