Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Purpose:
Initially competitively reviewed in 2017, this cooperative agreement is funded for the purpose of providing manufacturing extension services to North Dakota small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMM).
Activities to be performed:
Impact Dakota will expand its service offerings - both with internal staff capabilities and external third-party contractors - to be able to fulfill a majority of manufacturers' needs, regardless of size or location. New service development will also include the mode of service delivery. Whenever possible, programming will be provided virtually in order to reach more of the very small and rural businesses. Expanded service programming will also support the center's focus on meeting NIST MEP metrics requirements.
Expected outcomes:
Impact Dakota has long been a leader in lean manufacturing training and implementation and will continue to support the needs of businesses in this area. However, businesses have identified areas of critical needs that Impact Dakota will work with other entities to help SMMs address. These areas of focus include, but are not limited to: workforce attraction, development and retention; supply chain optimization; cybersecurity protection; industry 4.0/automation; organizational culture.
Intended beneficiaries:
North Dakota small and medium-sized manufacturers and the MEP National Network.
