Robots.Jobs works to amend national robotic skills shortage

Despite several outlooks that the job market would be suffering due to automation has yet to become reality, a more prevalent concern is over filling empty positions at companies that are creating and developing robots. Robots.Jobs is a brand new platform for putting talented employees with employers in need of workers in robotics, artificial intelligence, and other technology throughout the US. 

“These emerging and growing companies have a common challenge, and that’s finding talent,” said Joyce Sidopoulos, innovation community manager at the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council (MassTLC) and co-founder of MassRobotics and Robots.Jobs. “After speaking with companies in Boston, Pittsburgh, and Silicon Valley and searching the Internet, we couldn’t find a good and consolidated resource where students, job seekers, and hiring companies in these fields could find each other. Robots.Jobs aims to be the resource to do just that.”

In addition, people with robotics and AI skills are needed to meet industry demand. In manufacturing alone, the skills gap could grow from 488,000 unfilled jobs last year to 2.4 million open jobs in 2028, according to a study last fall by Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute. Several observers have noted that good-paying jobs exist for people who can work with robots.
