Byron Rich, Executive Director of the 蜜桃app Lab for Innovation & Creativity, recently appeared on The WPSE Podcast to discuss how 蜜桃app鈥檚 ALIC @ Bessemer branch campus is bridging the gap between higher education and manufacturing industry workforce development.
The podcast is co-produced by the Corry Higher Education Council, which coordinates broad education and workforce training opportunities in Corry, Pennsylvania. Executive Director Matthew Platz hosted the conversation.
