The shortage of skilled trades workers is not a problem @Ford or any one company can solve alone. It's one we must solve together. That’s why I’m excited to share a new initiative Ford is launching alongside the State of Michigan (@migovernment), @jpmorgan, @Newlab and @MichiganCentral. The Michigan Launchpad for Industrial Innovation and Transformation – or Michigan LIFT – is designed to help innovative companies and technologies move more quickly from idea to production. It connects innovators, suppliers and manufacturers with the support they need to scale. As we gather at #FordAccelerate# this week to focus on practical solutions for America’s industrial future, Michigan LIFT is one example of how we're taking action to strengthen the #EssentialEconomy# and build a more resilient manufacturing base. This type of model demonstrates how by working together we can expand and scale our collective impact. More details here: #Accelerate2026#
