Industrial Advisory Committee (IAC)

The Industrial Advisory Committee for FLATE brings industry directly to the Center. This board consists of members of industry partners from manufacturing community, representatives from related professional and industry organizations, and others in the community interested in promoting and supporting education and training of the manufacturing workforce at various levels. This group will meet 2-3 times per year and is under the guidance of the St. Petersburg College Principal Investigator, Mr. Brad Jenkins. Contact Brad if you are interested in participating in this group or just have a question you would like addressed by the committee.

FLATE has made an effort to expand the IAC to include representation from all areas of the state, particularly the regions of the schools that offer the Engineering Technology Degree. Our recent IAC meeting included tele-participation by stakeholders from around the state. We are looking forward to continuing to expand our committee and our capability to interact with them more effectively.
