This is Part Three of my ongoing series on finding and developing your workforce talent. In addition to understanding and communicating with your talent, connecting with local organizations to help grow your workforce is equally important. As leaders in manufacturing, it is important to connect with your local educational institutions, connect with local industry groups or connect with your Chamber of Commerce. In this episode, I share some of my own experiences connecting to local apprenticeship programs and how that can be a benefit to small and medium-sized manufacturers. We’ll dive deeper into these concepts: High School Registered Apprenticeship can help employers address the replacement of retiring workforce What to do if you don’t have any apprenticeship programs in your area and how partnering with your local school district allows you to professionally develop a high school junior or senior apprentice program Some local studies done on workforce and the skills gap in Quad Cities of IL and IA An overview of some apprenticeship programs I highly recommend reviewing some of the information listed in the show notes below, including resources available to plan your own apprenticeship programs. Next week I will be discussing finding and engaging with virtual talent.

If you are a Silver Entrepreneur, or a bit older than today’s youth, you may be wondering how you are going to connect with millennials in the workforce. And just as importantly, you want to know how to work with them. In this second part of my 5-part series on Finding Your Workforce and Developing Talent, I explore topics which will help you hire, communicate, and work with millennials. This episode dives into some aspects from the book Answering Why, Unleashing Passion, Purpose, and Performance in Younger Generations by Mark C. Perna. The key points from the book I cover include defining the skills gap and understanding the new generation. I highly recommend you take some time to review the resources linked in the show notes below. After that, I also recommend you connect with your local educational institutions and align with people who are in your future workforce. On an upcoming episode I will be talking about the importance of connecting with apprenticeship programs. We’ll dive deeper into these concepts: Defining the skills gap and a reminder to sometimes evaluate your workforce’s skills based on experience rather than education. Understanding the new generation, including their desire to work to live and why lifestyle matters to them. The reality that employee loyalty is different today. How younger generations don’t always hear the branch creaking, what this means, and how we can help support millennials. The concept of career trees and its three levels.
