PTC’s Jordan Cox explains how the company is grooming the next generation of IoT innovators | Connect with PTC: http://ptc-iot.com/OS1mOxg The Internet of Things is changing the way enterprise works. Given the many implications this has for productivity and efficiency, labor forces need to be part of the discussion. PTC is well aware of that. As a pioneer of IoT in enterprise, these issues have become a focus for the company. Jordan Cox, senior vice president of PTC’s Academic Program, explains that grooming the next generation of employees is a top priority for the company. “We asked the CXO level of executives and our customers, what was the one thing they were really concerned about,” Cox says. “What was top on the list? They indicated it was workforce development. Their next generation of employees was one thing they worried about.” The company moved quickly to address that. “About a year ago we developed a workshop really focused on helping PTC employees understand how IoT would impact them and their work, their decisions,” Cox says. Cox and his team work on programs for elementary, high school, and university students and instructors to teach engineering and IoT concepts. “Our engineer program really starts in the K12 space and moves through into the university space,” Cox explains. “So we have programs that we offer for elementary age students, middle school, high school students. We participate with groups like FIRST Robotics. We’re a strategic sponsor of FIRST Robotics, and that really prepares the students to understand the basic strategy of product development.” Of course, PTC sees education as more than just a pipeline for potential employees. The company recently launched a massive open online course focused on IoT that’s available to everyone and accessible through udemy.com. Expect to see more IoT educational resources from PTC in the form of micro-courses and nano-degrees.
