EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE


Another great way for our industry to reach a prospective source of technical labor is to partner with trade schools. There are various types of trade schools which offer auto, truck and welding training. Some of these schools are training military veterans who enlisted in the armed forces soon out of high school and have devoted two to four years in the military. When they are discharged, some of them are seeking training through private vocational schools. Use the same strategy recommended for high school vocational programs and create partnerships with the private training schools. Let them know what skills you are looking for and let them help you fill those job opportunities. Private trade schools are always looking for businesses to hire their students so they can market successful placement of students. Schools that train benefit by showing prospective students they have high placement rates after training.


As a business owner it is imperative that you discover ways to attract new talent. The future of your business and the future of our country is going to depend on the next generation of skilled craftsmen and women who will be the future of services and products that are offered.


The topic of labor shortage proves to be an important topic and one NARSA/ IDEA will continue to discuss. If you have any re- marks or comments please e-mail them to mtaylor@narsa.org.


Until next time, Mark Taylor NARSA/IDEA Executive Director mtaylor@narsa.org (410) 320-5119
