Manage the Retirement Bubble
• Projected 69% of Manufacturers believe shortages will increase in the next 3 to 5 years (2016)
• Hardest hit will be skilled production (machinists, operators, and technicians) and industrial and manufacturing engineers.
• Knowledge management (Talent contribution of older workers) – part-time work, mentorships, coaches, trainers.
Outdated Educational Curriculum
• Challenges– Constantly changing innovations - demand– Outdated and costly equipment for training– Right Skills at right time– More flexible training hours– Continuous start dates
Outdated Recruitment Strategies
• Old recruitment– Word of mouth– Newspapers– Job Boards – key word searches
• New Recruitment– Job Boards with artificial intelligence– Websites– Social Media – Partnerships

82.5% of manufacturers report a moderate-to-serious shortage of skilled production workers, including machinists
74% of manufacturers report that this skills gap has negatively impacted their company’s ability to expand operations.
69% of manufacturers expect the skills shortage in skilled production to worsen in the next 3-5 years.
This skills gap has resulted in as many as 600,000 jobs going unfilled.
Darlene Miller, President, Permac Industries, Minneapolis
It’s really frustrating and continues to be a real issue for manufacturers like me when we hear the unemployment numbers but yet we cannot find people skilled to come to work for our companies. We are constantly interviewing and finding that the people we bring in do not have the math skills that are required to operate our equipment. We can buy all of the equipment we need but we cannot find the skilled labor we need to advance our companies.
