#259 How ATDM is addressing the US Submarine Industrial Base skills gap

On the latest Additive Insight podcast episode, we're joined by Jason Wells, the Executive Vice President of Manufacturing Advancement at ATDM.

ATDM stands for Accelerated Training in Defence Manufacturing. The 16-week program is designed to prepare workers for careers in advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on the Submarine Industrial Base.

Since 2022, additive manufacturing has been a core offering of the program, and Wells joins the Additive Insight podcast to share how the organisation approaches the development of skills in AM and what has been achieved so far.

In particular, we discuss what manufacturers are looking for in AM engineers, how that informs the AM curriculum, and how graduates of the program are supported as they transition into industry.
