I'm not so sure we should even aspire to train our future workforce for these jobs. Robotic workers are slated to supplant some of the most complex manufacturing tasks currently executed by humans. By the time our manufacturing force is primed to take on these jobs, we may find that they no longer exist.
As a side note, I think it's interesting that at a time when Americans are clamoring for more employment, they are simultaneously emptying their wallets for iPhones in record numbers. Somehow, despite the ailing economy, Americans can find it in their hearts to lift poor Chinese workers out of poverty.
But robots are not good enough (way worse than human) to adopt to new jobs. It takes lots of time to reconfigured or reprogram robots to do new jobs. Human are very good at adopting and reconfiguring to new environment and new challenge.
It will take a long time for robots to get to that level.
