Are You Experienced?
It seems that the jobs report dominates the national agenda lately from the presidential address to the campaign trail. The unemployment rate declined to 8.3 percent this past week yet it still seems gloomy for many Americans (12.8M people are out of work). While some people explore entrepreneurship, it is not for everyone.
There are many variables to this issue. There is a crumbling infrastructure that is in need of repair but no tax revenue to pay for it and the economy has to pick-up before companies start to hire en mass again. Many jobs have gone over seas and innovation requires the workforce to consider retraining in new fields.
What if there was a good way to do on the job training for the non-experienced. Consider the Augmate solution, “just in time instruction in a users field of view related to the task at hand.”
I am not saying the Augmate solution can instruct a passenger how to land a plane or teach a good samaritan how to perform an emergency tracheotomy, however, it could show someone how to properly mix cement or operate simple road repair equipment. I speculate that there are 100s of job processes and instructions that could be loaded into the Augmate system.
Augmate has joined the Startup America Partnership, it is a good organization with a worthy cause to get Americans working again. New & small businesses create 80% of the jobs in America. http://www.s.co/
