The Findlay Rotary Club got to learn about workforce automation during their Monday meeting. Director of the Governors Office of Workforce Development Ryan Burgess said there are pros and cons for workforce automation.

Burgess added that there is also pressure on educational institutions and workforce development agencies to make sure people are prepared to see more robotics in the workplace. He explained that technological advances in automation force workers to practice lifelong learning
