Boomers will soon have left the workforce. There are not enough career-technical education schools, instructors or students to meet demand. Unemployment is a super low 3.4%, which means most unemployed people are not capable or interested in work. The worker shortage is a worldwide phenomenon. Now, in 2023, the technician crisis grows. Approximately 74% of businesses need at least one technician and are willing to fill it with an entry-level tech prospect. The problem: What happens when the entry-level tech arrives? The 80/20 rule is alive and well: 1.20% of product or service managers are investigating new ways to counter the technician shortage. Many are considering mentoring. 2.Of those who say that they're willing to attract and train youth in-house, 80% have no plan. When pushed, 80% of managers confess they're not competent in recruiting and - worse yet - poor at implementing effective training/ mentoring protocols. Unprepared managers guiding untrained workers is our shared reality. |
