Industry 4.0, or the Fourth Industrial Revolution is a term used to describe how technology is changing the way we live, work, and interact with one another. The rate of change is happening too fast for businesses, government regulations, and educational institutions to keep pace. STEM jobs are expected to increase 10.9% by 2026 and we aren’t ready!
