The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), in collaboration with the Automation Federation, has worked with industry leaders to develop a comprehensive competency model for careers in automation. The Automation Federation has been a key player in working with ETA to look at the transformation in the automation industry. Displaced workers in this field are reevaluating their career options and looking at retraining and/or career exploration and the steps necessary to get there.
