No, we don't have enough at all. The skill gap is real. You have to look around, look at whether the market can hire. The market would hire tomorrow, but there is now a skills gap.
Do you know why? It's because we forget or misunderstand the manufacturing spectrum. What is the manufacturing spectrum? I don't have a graph here to show you, but misunderstanding the manufacturing spectrum is the problem of government and universities. Manufacturing starts with research.
Can I give you the example of aerospace? What do researchers do in aerospace? They find a new material for aerospace. The next part of the spectrum is applied research: how can I apply that material to the new application? After that there is design development, development of the new product, manufacturing of it, service of it, and so on and so on.
Manufacturing is not about the research part, which the university is doing. The ecosystem must be healthy. My documentation shows that today 97.5% of the federal dollar allocated to post-secondary research through the granting agencies is directed at the universities, with only 2.5% going to the colleges and polytechnics.
