; Outreach and WorkforceDevelopment; Research and Development.With collaboration of stakeholders across the ecosystem, VMASC started with an end-to-endanalysis of education and training at all levels to include K-12, higher education, trade schools,military and government, and workforce development centers. We conducted this analysisthrough a series of workshops and other events pulling into the conversation organizationssuch as the Virginia Ship Repair Association, industry leaders like Newport News Shipyard,Hampton Roads Public Schools and Community Colleges and community outreach groups. Thishas identified gaps in workforce education and training. Some of the gaps included little or noawareness of opportunities, lack of base technical and math
, organization.Soft skills accounts for more than half of the CSFs, top three most important success factors forAsian women working in New Zealand construction industry are soft skills namely, sense ofresponsibility, communication skills and networking skills. The success factor sense ofresponsibility is a “characteristic of personality”, which can be learnt and developed throughtraining and personal experience. Since project involves the collaboration of different parties anddifferent professional, effective communication is a key driver of such kind of collaboration.Therefore, effective communication skills women developed can have major impact on thesuccess of projects[16].Networking is about “developing lasting relationships for mutual gain and creating

Next, the proposed industry examples will be compared to traditional academic andstylized problems and activities. Next a method for assessing the impact of these alternativeexamples will be discussed. Finally, next steps and future work will be detailed.High Value Manufacturing CertificateThe exercises and problems proposed in this work are for a certificate program that is beingdeveloped as part of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education(ATE) project.
