Detroit Regional Manufacturing
Skills Alliance
History
• In late 2006 the Detroit Regional Chamber
was selected as the convener for the
advance manufacturing Regional Skills
Alliance or RSA
Mission
• The manufacturing sector in Southeast
Michigan has the workforce needed to
successfully compete in the global
economy.

Employers
Government
Education
Labor
Non-profits
Four areas of concentration
supported by RSA
• Our role must be the connector, helping to
eliminate duplication of programs an
aligning resources. Partnerships and
Collaborations are key drivers.
• Communication to and with the public
(which also includes examining and
improving the image of the industry
RSA Focus Continued
• Establishment of a web portal dedicated solely to
manufacturing workforce needs. The portal will
provide access to education and training courses,
certificate and degreed programs that are available
to their incumbent workforce.
• Identification and marketing of model programs
developed and delivered by various groups,
especially those that have the manufacturers as a
key element in the creation of curriculum and
implementation. Employers will be able to access
data that is comprehensive and topical.
Partnerships
Putting the Key Pieces Together
for Competitive Manufacturing

Although H-1B
visas are most
frequently used to
employ foreignborn technology
workers, it's
important to note
that the visas also
are used to hire
professionals in
other occupations.
