3 The Challenges Even at the height of the global recession, 32% of surveyed companies reported moderate to serious skills shortages in the hiring pool.! Contributing to our workforce challenges are:! o Demographics: We face a graying workforce coupled with a shrinking pipeline.! o Technological advances in modern manufacturing require more advanced skill sets.! o Major deficits in our education system hamper U.S. competitiveness on the world stage: our global competitors continue to surpass our educational system in producing a high-volume, high-quality technical workforce.! 5 National Solutions and Customized Strategies! Our Education and Workforce Development agenda focuses on implementing quality education reform for the entire continuum: Foundational skills in English language communication, reading, science, math, and workplace competencies such as teamwork, work ethic, integrity, and creativity are necessary for all individuals to pursue any career in manufacturing. 6 3

6 A Million-Dollar Investment!! I advise each of my staff that every worker hired is a million-dollar investment for this company. Iʼm calculating that most hires are under 45 years old; we intend to keep them for at least 20 years, and our average annual salary/benefits package is $55,000. In other words, we canʼt afford to make a mistake to hire someone without the right skills. Verifiable skills certification programs can make the difference between a good investment and a high-risk.!!!!!dennis Rohrs,!!!!!Human Resource Manager!!!!!Fort Wayne Metals, Inc.!
