This is sad but true! Almost every manufacturing / repair company I work with says one of the greatest threats to their company's growth is lack of a skilled workforce. Blue collar jobs in America are simply . . . not cool. We need more education in the school system so that young people's perceptions about this type of work change.
ReplyDeleteWell said Kerry! Lack of skilled workers has been a complaint I've heard for 10 years! I think most of the educational and political establishment are just completely clueless that we still have companies out there fabricating metal, molding plastic and doing many other industrial tasks. And they're clueless that manufacturing is a high tech endeavor that needs high tech training! Thanks for your comment :-)
