Closing the skills gap in manufacturing: competencies for a future-ready workforce

Manufacturing has always been a skills-driven industry. From the factory floor to logistics and operations, the ability to track, validate, and develop workforce competencies directly impacts productivity, safety, and business resilience.

But with industries evolving rapidly, how can organisations ensure they’re building the right skills for the future?

Join Kineo and Totara for a practical conversation on how manufacturing organisations can take a skills-based approach to workforce development. Together, we’ll explore why moving beyond spreadsheets and self-assessments to competency frameworks creates a stronger foundation for building, tracking, and validating skills at scale.
