It's Time to Be ProactiveAs Baby Boomers age out of an already thin labor market, employers are feeling pressure to maintain their workforce both in the short-term and long-term. Businesses cannot stand by while the future workforce goes through school, unaware of the career and educational paths that may lead to their doorsteps.
Traditional classroom-based education and job training programs do not always reflect workplace needs, and employers find that many job candidates lack valuable hands-on experience. In order to develop the most relevant talent pipeline, career preparation should reflect industry’s most in-demand skills and take place within the context of the workplace. |
