Has Foxconn Uncertainty Affected Wisconsin Manufacturing Students?

Questions and concerns arose about Foxconn’s plans in Racine County a couple of weeks ago. Reports surfaced that the company would be shifting its plans from manufacturing LCD screens to research and development. Then Foxconn said it was committed to manufacturing on the site - after a conversation with President Trump.
So, has the uncertainty affected the people training to work at those manufacturing plants? Gateway Technical College in Racine County collaborated with Foxconn on an advanced manufacturing curriculum - or what's called Industry 4.0.
Places like Foxconn have smart-factories - manufacturing plants with an IT component. The factories connect their machines to the cloud and develop an industrial Internet of Things (IoT). This allows companies to take massive amounts of production and machine data and use it for decisionmaking.
