60 Minutes Piece: 3 Million Open Jobs Due to Skills Gap
This is an interesting piece on why the entry level (and other) jobs are open in many manufacturing companies.
“I can honestly say it’s probably an entry level problem. It’s those basic skill sets: show up on time, read, write, do math, [and] problem solve. I can’t tell you how many people [are] even coming out of higher ed with degrees who can’t put a sentence together without a major grammatical error. It’s a problem. If you can’t do the resume properly to get the job, you can’t come work for us. We’re in the business of making fasteners that hold systems together that protect people in the air when they’re flying. We’re in the business of perfection.” – Ryan Castella, Head of Strategic Initiatives at Click Bond, Inc.
