摘要：	Recruiters for two tug and barge companies discussed how they are dealing with the stubborn labor shortage at a recent workforce forum organized by the American Waterways Operators. Christa White of Ingram Marine Group, and Rich Evans at McAllister Towing, said that their companies have gotten creative in finding new ways to reach job seekers via social media, job fairs, advertising, and school visits. They have had mariners speak with potential recruits and share on-the-water experiences, beefed up training programs for new hires, and revamped application processes to make it easy for the digital-savvy generation to submit job applications. Ingram has also hosted students at its facilities in Paducah, Ky., to learn firsthand about jobs in welding and repairs and tour a towboat. "We hosted a high school event, invited them outside of school," White said. "It was a small group, but they really wanted to be there."
