Podcasts about skilled workers

The car industry here has long had a shortage of skilled mechanics, but it seems it also a problem in the US. Ford Motor Company CEO Jim Farley raised the issue last week saying he had 5,000 open mechanic positions available despite eye watering salaries of US$120,000, nearly double the American workers medium salary. And he suggested it’s not just Ford adding “we’re in trouble in this country and we are not talking about it enough - We have over a million openings in critical jobs, emergency services, trucking, factory workers, plumbers, electricians, and tradesmen. It’s a very serious thing.” He added, jobs in the trades made our country what it is, and allowed people like his grandfather, who worked on the Model T and was employee 389, to have good lives. Somehow, the story seems all too familiar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The podcast episode explores three significant shifts impacting the managed service provider (MSP) and technology landscape. The first topic centers on the ongoing debate regarding artificial intelligence (AI) and its role in empowering non-skilled workers versus enhancing the capabilities of skilled professionals. The discussion highlights the current state of AI adoption in organizations, emphasizing that while skilled workers are leveraging AI to augment their expertise, many smaller MSPs are still in the experimental phase, using AI for basic tasks rather than integrating it into their core operations.The second major theme is the emergence of the security-first MSP model, where cybersecurity is not merely an add-on service but a fundamental aspect of the business. Research indicates that a significant portion of MSPs still view cybersecurity as a secondary function, with only a small percentage considering it a core part of their offerings. This raises concerns about the preparedness of MSPs to meet the growing cybersecurity demands of their clients, especially as regulations and compliance requirements become more stringent.The final discussion point addresses the readiness of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) for AI-powered cyber attacks. The experts note that many SMBs are ill-prepared for the evolving threat landscape, often relying on outdated strategies that may no longer be effective. The conversation underscores the necessity for MSPs to not only enhance their cybersecurity offerings but also to educate their clients about the importance of integrating cybersecurity into their overall business strategy.Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize the need for MSPs to adopt a more proactive approach to cybersecurity and AI integration. They argue that as the technology landscape continues to evolve, MSPs must refine their business models and operational processes to remain competitive. The discussion concludes with a call for MSPs to embrace their role as trusted advisors, guiding their clients through the complexities of cybersecurity and AI, and ensuring that they are equipped to navigate the challenges of the modern digital environment.

The Office of the Auditor-General has been looking into Immigration New Zealand, and says a greater focus needs to be put on attracting skilled residents. Senior Performance Auditor Lucy Mouland told Mike Hosking that if the agency improved its systems, it could give New Zealand a competitive edge internationally. She says skilled residents are the people our country needs to meet future challenges, so more must be done to draw them in. Immigration New Zealand has released a statement welcoming the report, saying they accept the findings in principle and are looking into how they can implement them in line with INZ's current work programme, priorities and resources.

The critical role of skilled trades in building and sustaining our society cannot be overstated, especially in today's economy. Industries are currently facing a growing shortage of skilled workers, underscoring the need for renewed respect and recognition for these essential professions. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, total employment is projected to grow by almost 4.7 million from 2022 to 2032, driven largely by sectors like healthcare and information technology. However, many traditional trades, such as carpentry and construction, face slower growth or slight declines due to increasing automation and other factors.How can we attract and retain the next generation of skilled workers in an era that increasingly values digital and automated solutions over hands-on craftsmanship?On this episode of "Straight Outta Crumpton," host Greg Crumpton sits down with Joe Prim, the driving force behind RetroCraft Woodworks.

Manitoba government supports extension of temporary work permits for skilled workers, offering a path to citizenship, released by Manitoba on 05/09/2024 | Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Provincial News Bulletin from the province of Manitoba. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario. | The Manitoba government is retaining skilled labour by supporting the extensions of work permits for temporary residents who are eligible to apply to the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP), Labour and Immigration Minister Malaya Marcelino announced today. "At a time when skilled labour is in high demand, our government is making sure that people who are already in the province, who have contributed economically and who have expressed a desire to call Manitoba home are given that opportunity," said Marcelino. "Our government's agreement with our federal counterparts facilitates a pathway to citizenship and will help address labour market needs in Manitoba." On Aug. 21, the province signed a letter of intent with the federal government that will allow for eligible candidates identified under the province's provincial nominee program to apply to extend their work permits. This means up to 6,700 temporary workers identified by Manitoba will be able to continue working in the province while their applications to the MPNP are processed, noted the minister. Within two years, it is expected the individuals will be eligible to receive a nomination from the provincial nominee program, said Marcelino. To support and facilitate the timely processing of applications under the provincial nominee program, including fulfilling the operational and reporting requirements of applicants under the new public policy, the government is adding five temporary full-time equivalent positions. The positions will support the program throughout the 2024-25 fiscal year to: expedite the processing of applications for individuals whose status in Canada is expiring, and ensure the full utilization of the 2024 allocation of 9,500 nominees as quickly as possible.
