30. How to Fill the Manufacturing Skills Gap

The world is facing an engagement crisis, where employees are leaving their companies at historic rates.  It’s expensive, and firms are losing their collective intelligence and all that tribal knowledge as the hard-to-find talent continues to  walk out the door.  Manufacturing has been suffering from the difficulty of attracting top, young talent and this has been going on long before Covid hit.  So, why is this happening?  How do we attract, engage, and even more critical retain top talent? Adam Kingl is an author, keynote speaker, academic and consultant.  He is here to discuss solutions to the manufacturing skills gap crisis.
