A recruiter, a manufacturing leader, and a technology leader all walk into a bar… and tackle the skills gap problem head-on over some beers!The skills gap has been a hot topic in manufacturing. So, in true Manufacturing Happy Hour style, we sit down with a beer and discuss. Recorded live from Founders Brewery, MI while on tour with SwipeGuide, we sit down with Ann Wyatt of Ann Wyatt Recruiting, Ryan Lillibridge, VP of Mission Design & Automation, and CEO and Founder of SwipeGuide, Willemijn Schneyder.First up, we talk about how the stigma of heading into the trades is thankfully on the decrease. We swap insights on how the idea of "hireability" is changing, and what companies can do to lower the barriers to entry. A common theme throughout is that manufacturing leaders need to be more flexible when it comes to hiring. Do all candidates need a Master's in mechanical engineering? Probably not. For the future of manufacturers, attitude and aptitude are the golden tickets. We rounded out the conversation talking about upskilling and reskilling your workforce. Part of the skills gap problem isn't just about attracting people to manufacturing. It's also about missing a trick with your existing workforce. Sometimes, you need to tap into their knowledge and interests and reskill them for an increasingly tech-heavy future. In this episode, find out:Ann, Ryan, and WIllemijn introduce themselves and their unique perspectives on addressing the skills gapHow the stigma around trade jobs has evolved How the term “hireability” has evolved in today's market from a recruiter's perspective What companies can do to lower the barriers to entry into manufacturing and why recruiters should look at attitude and aptitude, not just experience and formal educationAnn, Ryan, and Willemijn share which job requirements they think are outdated in today's market and the top skills that manufacturing recruiters should look for Why technology is not the solution but a catalyst to empower the workforceHow upskilling and reskilling existing staff could help to ease the burden of the skills gapWhy people are the most valuable asset of a business that leaders should invest more inEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps.

We put automation systems into factories, but if they haven't spent time on their people, their manufacturing equipment does not run well because they haven't upskilled their team.”“We have to prioritize attitude and aptitude over ten plus years' experience.” Links & mentions:SwipeGuide, a hassle-free how-to platform for frontline training, made simpleMission Design & Automation, a leading intelligent automation integrator in MichiganAnn Wyatt Recruiting, specialist recruitment company for manufacturing companiesFounders Brewery, brewery in Grand Rapids, MI Make sure to visit http://manufacturinghappyhour.com for detailed show notes and a full list of resources mentioned in this episode.

It's a very social culture."Hollie: "How you leave is more important than actually everything you did. Because  it's the only thing people will remember about you. So are you honest and transparent? Are you having authentic conversations, are you putting a good plan in place that leaves your team and the organization in the best possible state?" Hollie: "The more clear you are about the thing you're going toward, the better probability you'll have of landing that. In my experience, careers aren't linear. Sometimes things show up and you're like, oh I don't know, this is kinda risky. Do the assessment of your calculated risk but sometimes the most unorthodox thing that shows up will be the thing that is the best growth for you."Hollie: "What happens with people that are really good is an organization will tend to want to give them more, whether it's in their job description or not. If that's not happening for you and you want that, make it known. I always say, nobody cares about your career as much as you do." Check out John McMahon's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Qualified-Sales-Leader-Proven-Lessons/dp/0578895064

“You can only cover about 65% of the cybersecurity workforce demand with the existing workforce today. So we need to do something to address that gap. We need to either build that workforce or re-skill existing individuals that are looking to get into new fields. That's the approach that we're taking. So the need is there. We know that cyber risk is there. We know that adversaries are constantly re-skilling and skilling up as well. And we need to build a protective workforce around that.” - John EllisIn this episode of Hack the Plant, we feature John Ellis, who heads up the Industrial Cyber Alliances at Siemens Energy.  We discuss a new, industry-lead apprenticeship program he runs which focuses on critical infrastructure protection called CIISAp (short for: Cybersecurity & Industrial Infrastructure Security Apprenticeship Program). ICS village is one of the partners of this program, which is tackling the gap between shortage of skilled employees and the workforceHow is the cohort designed?

In the 1920s, Ford Motor Company introduced the 9 to 5 work day as way to protect employees from being over worked. This was a great way to ensure the health and wellbeing of those working in the manufacturing and industrial sectors. However, as time has gone on and technology has evolved and allowed for automation, the need for manual labour has significantly decreased. Today, companies rely on creativity and innovation as key skills in employees. Given that the nature of work has drastically changed in the last century, should employers rely on a 9-5 work model? In this week's episode, I sit down with Author and Author Coach, Mackenzie Finklea to discuss this topic. Mackenzie is a Texan, born-and-raised. She currently lives and works out of her home office in Galveston; helping other authors achieve their dreams of being published. She holds a bachelor's degree in Anthropology: with a special interest in human cultures and archaeology. When she's not researching and observing displays of human culture, she enjoying traveling, especially off the beaten path, and visiting as many museums as possible along the way.After attending a summer program at New York University, Mackenzie realized there is a major issue with companies that are still gravitating towards traditional in-person work methods despite the evidence of how flexibility (i.e. working remotely/hybrid) actually increases productivity. As a result of this, Mackenzie feels as though companies are excluding the potential for so many great workers across the country. In more detail, we discuss:The current issues in today's workforceHow these issues are impacting workersThe changes that need to be implemented to improve employees' job experiencesHow to find a career that aligns with your authentic self& more!Connect with Mackenzie on Instagram and Twitter.

“My number one job as a leader is to get stuff out of the way so that my great people can do the great jobs that I hired them to do.”Kim Curley has spent her career focused on the human side of the business, enabling leaders and their organizations to do more, do better, and thrive through change. As the Vice President - Workforce Readiness Consulting for NTT DATA Services, Kim leads consultants focused on solving clients' most complex challenges by designing and implementing programs to address the people, process, and technology aspects of the business.Named an ‘NTT DATA Game Changer' for her dedication to client and team success, Kim is also one of the founders of NTT DATA's ‘Women Inspire NTT DATA (WIN)' employee resource group.In this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, we discuss with Kim:The meaning of ‘Workforce Readiness'‘The Great Resignation' - employee migration and what this means for employersHow the growth of the gig economy signals a tectonic shift in the workforceHow up-skilling your workforce benefits your organization: building the poolMistakes leaders might make during the pandemic, in terms of change managementThe Great ResignationPeople are leaving their current employer and are aggressively on the lookout for something better. A place that has a different culture offers a better salary or has core values that sync with the employee or anything. People are changing jobs like never before.Such situations compel talent and resource managers to find out a solution. Suppose you look closely at the work culture that everyone fancies. In that case, you will realise that companies are taking severe measures to retain their top talent: from employee engagement activities online to mid-term appraisals, promotions, on-site opportunities, annual bonuses, and whatnot.Sharing her thoughts on the ongoing trend called “The Great Resignation”, Kim says, “Yes. Reports say that around 40-50% of people are open to a job change right now. In April and May, over seven and a half million people quit their jobs, which is just double of what happened at the same time-frame last year.”“Whenever somebody leaves an organisation, you lose 50-75% of their annual salary in attempting to replace them both in terms of the learning curve for the person when you get them in, the cost of recruiting, the cost of training etc.,” she adds.  The Great ExperimentWhile emphasizing on companies focusing on their people, she says, “Two years ago, how many companies did you hear talking about wellness? Or the importance of culture? We never talked about it. So, one of the biggest impacts of this pandemic is this shift in perspective.”“The great resignation is going to trigger the Great Experiment because none knows what it's going to look like for a while. And that's not because the pandemic is continuing but because its impacts are continuing too. And it'll take us a while to figure out what a workplace means,” she continues.Because of remote working, everyone has a different set of priorities. Employees are managing office work along with several other things that they were not bothered about earlier.Follow Kim on LinkedInProduced by: Priya BhattPodcast host: Abhash Kumar

“There is not one problem that does exist or will exist that cannot be solved by a motivated generation of young people.”That's probably the stand-out quote from this week's guest, Jesse Lovejoy, who as the director of the San Francisco 49ers EDU programme designs and oversees a large-scale STEAM (science, technology, education, art and maths) education programme that engages thousands of children in the Bay Arena every year.STEAM education, he says, not only empowers young people but it helps them learn complex concepts through the prism of subjects that interest them or impact their everyday lives.Sport is one of the best ways to get that message across. During an EDU field trip, students can learn about technology through the evolving innovation and equipment needed for professional American football, or take in a science lesson focused on the sustainability aspects of Levi's Stadium, the state-of-the-art home of the 49ers.During this episode, Lovejoy explains:Why STEAM education is crucial for skilling up the future workforceHow sport can make STEAM education accessible for underserved childrenWhat the San Francisco 49ers EDU programme entails
