Rockwell Automation President and Chief Executive Officer Blake Moret shared his companys successful workforce development strategies at a roundtable discussion at the White House Wednesday.

The conference was presented in conjunction with the Business Roundtable and was led by Ivanka Trump, daughter and adviser of President Donald Trump, and Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta.

Moret was one of about 20 CEOs who shared their workforce development success stories with the White House staff.

Reached by telephone after the conference, Moret said he shared three successful staff development strategies that Milwaukee-based Rockwell deploys: acommitment to lifelong learning;outcome-based instruction;and partnerships between manufacturers and learning centers, such as technical colleges.

I expressed the three principles for having a skilled workforce, Moret said. These are the things that work.

Moret said he was impressed by Ivanka Trumps interest in the subject.

She was an active participant and is clearly knowledgeable about the subject, Moret said.

Ivanka Trump and her father traveled Tuesday to Wisconsin, where they toured an apprenticeship program at Waukesha County Technical College.

The Business Roundtable is an association of chief executive officers of leading U.S. companies.
