Some companies are struggling to find skilled workers for
certain jobs, particularly those jobs that require technology skills. Some of
these jobs may be in manufacturing, others in IT, Accounting and Administration
to cite a few examples. Even a waiter in a restaurant often needs to be able to
use a computer or mobile device.
These jobs may require years of training and most small
companies do not have the will, skill, energy or time to train the number of
people needed. So what do you do?
Often a relationship with a nearby High School or College
can be a big help. Often they will work with you. You surely should be able to
offer jobs to qualified graduates, maybe using a job fair at the school. Some
years ago, I needed a specific set of skills that was not generally available.
I approached a local College and worked out a training program that allowed my
company to offer jobs to successful graduates.
Think ahead…what skills will your company need? Where will
you get them?
