Description
- Activities
- To fulfill its mission, genedge will focus on three major areas: expanding small business services, growing workforce development services, and accelerating the adoption of smart and advanced manufacturing. The small business services initiative will be led by a dedicated program manager, overseeing genedge alliance membership services and the emerging business leadership program. Workforce development efforts will be strengthened through apprenticeship programs, diversification of learning management services (LMS) using tooling u and development dimension international (DDI), and the expansion of senior design team programs with two new university partnerships. Additionally, genedge will accelerate awareness and adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies to improve productivity, increase value-added per employee, and enhance job satisfaction.
- Expected outcomes
- Genedge anticipates that its services will generate measurable impacts in MEP-designated markets through various engagement methods, including light interactions, client projects, and facilitated projects. The organization aims for a balanced approach, with 50% of its focus on top-line growth and 50% on bottom-line growth. Expected outcomes include increased adoption of advanced manufacturing practices, enhanced workforce capabilities, and strengthened business resilience. Additionally, genedge expects to support a significant number of companies across different demographics, including startups, small businesses, rural enterprises, and transformational firms.
- Intended beneficiaries
- The primary beneficiaries of genedge's services will be manufacturing companies and business owners directly engaged with the program. Employees, both current and prospective, will benefit from enhanced training and development opportunities. Additionally, the broader business ecosystem; including suppliers, customers, local communities, and extended value chains; will experience economic and operational improvements. By strengthening virginia's manufacturing infrastructure, genedge aims to create sustainable benefits for businesses, employees, and the state's industrial sector.
- Subrecipient activities
- Genedge will collaborate with four key subrecipients to enhance its service delivery: virginia tech's grado school of industrial engineering (VT), old dominion university (ODU), liberty university (LU), and virginia commonwealth university (VCU) colleges of engineering. These institutions will work alongside genedge to develop and implement core consulting and industrial skills training. Through cooperative design project engineering teams, they will provide real-world solutions for manufacturing firms across virginia, further strengthening the state's workforce and industrial innovation capabilities.
