MFG2024P [at Georgia Tech]

Extension Services Training — This Extension Services Training program for Confecámaras, the trade association of chambers of commerce across Colombia, supports the countrywide initiative Fábricas de Productividad of Colombia Productiva, through a customized program for the technical training of center extension professionals from Colombia. The boot camp offers basic and advanced concepts in a combination of modules on technical content like lean manufacturing, energy efficiency, and growth/innovation. It will also include sessions on soft skills for client portfolio management. Mastering both hard/technical skills as well as soft skills is an essential part of providing technology extension services to ensure satisfied clients that will likely engage in more projects, or refer new clients. Teaching methods include workshops, individual and group exercises, case studies, short simulations, and presentations. A company visit will be coordinated so that participants can “connect the invisible dots” between the workshops and the real-world.
