There we go. See here. All right. So my name is Peter Costa, I'm the CEO and co founder of Baltic technologies. We are a social impact company, a technology company. And our mission is to accelerate the development of a skilled workforce and increase access to high quality jobs. We're based here in Phoenix. And we've, we've been working with a lot of different community partners and employers to really increase access to a lot of these high quality upcoming jobs that we're seeing from multiple industries. So I wanted to talk a little bit about where we're, right now we're applying our technology and program more in the advanced manufacturing, semiconductor aerospace sector. But we've been doing some researching over the past couple months around, how do we support the Broadband industry in and using our technology and some of our best practices that we've developed over time. So some of these figures you're might be aware of, but 25% of the workforce of employees are over 55 and leaving the workforce. And then I think the FDA is published some data that around 205,000 fiber technicians are needed to be trained within the next five years. Right now, those estimates around 2800 full time technicians and Arizona what we'll need. And the big challenge that we've seen, over the last couple of years that we've been utilizing our program is around accessibility. Our our technology, our company is really trying to find scalable solutions that increase access and the we've talked with over 100 different individuals. Many of them want access to these these jobs, but they face multiple barriers in accessing training. So the things that we hear from people is coordinating work and families with class schedules. Having limited funds cover the schooling costs. This might not be tuition, but it could be something like a computer, or transportation or any of the other costs associated with attending a training class. The other challenges we hear is around transportation or location challenges, especially when we get to rural areas of the state can be challenging for people to be able to commute to to a college or technical school. And then lastly, many of the people that want these jobs are more of a hands on type. And they struggle in a traditional classroom, classroom learning environment. And so really what we've done is we're creating solutions to help bridge those gaps to help both employers and individuals develop the skills that they need to be successful. And so the solution that we developed, it goes across three different areas. The first part is attracting and developing a diverse and equitable equitable workforce. With and then I'm gonna go over our certified training program, and then how we've helped facilitate on the job training. So to tract and develop a diverse and equitable workforce, we've been working with some great partners, we've developed a virtual reality application to promote 21st century jobs. So this is a VR career exploration experience. We worked with Maricopa Community Colleges and Chicanos Por La Casa. And we develop basically it's like a simulation or like a video game that shows people what it's like to work in a semiconductor fab. And in an aerospace facility. Right now that's being promoted. The training, one of the programs that's been promoted is the Quickstart. Boot Camps. If you're not familiar with the Maricopa County, Maricopa Community College Quickstart boot camps or attend a boot camp that gives people the essential skills that they need to get started in semiconductor and aerospace, it's a 10 day in person boot camp. We're also using this to promote our upskilling program that we're running for advanced manufacturing, and sort for collaborating with, with these different partners to do that. And then we also have the capacity to kind of add on to these VR, this VR career exploration. So in the future, if we could find a sponsor that wanted to put a basically an experience where you're seeing what it's like to be a fiber technician or working in the Broadband industry, we'd be able to do that. And this is a little demo of what it looks like you got the VR headset on, and you're inside of a semiconductor fab. And you can see all these robots running around you and and you actually do a task of trying to get this semiconductor equipment turned off. And I say the big feedback that is that we get from participants that go through this is like, wow, this is so cool. I had no idea that building computer chips was like this, it looks like Star Wars. And so it's a really great way to shine light on the different opportunities in that area. So the second is a certified training program. So we've been we've been delivering a industry 4.0 certification course, for advanced manufacturing over the last about year. It's been very successful. And it's a it's a scalable way to help develop a workforce. Our plans are, how do we how do we started implementing this in the Broadband industry. And so essentially, our it's our upskill program that we have. It's a turnkey online learning platform. In it, we're developing a hands on lab with an interactive digital guide to kind of help facilitate in person training. We give the individuals access to subject matter experts, tutors. And then in it we also provide tools for interview prep, resume prep and employer prep. Where we try to focus our efforts is more around. We're a technology platform that's enabling other groups to become the training provider, we try not to consider ourselves as the training program provider. So the different partners that we're working on developing this, this upskilling program is with community partners. So we're working with groups like Chicanos Por La casa, fresh start and other nonprofits help enable them to become basically the training guide. This is really important because what we've heard from the different nonprofits is when they have people come through their organizations and are looking for job training. They'll send them to a college program, or they send them to a training program, and then they lose sight of that person. If that person doesn't complete the course, they don't know why. Many times it could be curriculum related where maybe they're having challenges. They they're afraid to approach the instructor about something. And so those could be one of the reasons why they don't complete the course. But other reasons are things outside of the coursework. Could be, hey, I don't have a computer, I don't have internet. My family member was in the hospital. These are all things that we've heard directly from participants in our programs. And so the nonprofit ends up becoming the champion, the guide that helps them through the coursework, and addresses all of those challenges that an individual might face when trying to get access training, other places that we've looked at as community centers, like libraries, or areas that are embedded into these local communities, religious institutions and the municipalities. And so we provide basically a turnkey solution that enables these community partners to become essentially the training guide. And we're there to assist in in many of those components. We also allow employers to use the same technology to upskill and train their workers. This is great, because you can have employers that take in people that maybe don't have a lot of experience, but they can quickly upskill them and train them so that way, they can be ready for the job. And then lastly, for education, being able to provide our technology platform to groups like Tolleson, high school, is a is a great way that we can enable this type of training. And then we can also partner with community colleges and universities, technical schools, and other groups that might be in the education space.
