CareerEdge Launches Manufacturing
Skills Gap Survey |
|
 CareerEdge has launched a survey to understand and quantify the
skills gap for manufacturing jobs in Manatee and Sarasota Counties. CareerEdge is requesting input from area manufacturers to better understand how they can improve the region's manufacturing workforce. Data generated through the survey will be compared with training resources available in the region. The goal is to identify what training exists and what must be changed or added by training partners to help manufacturers fill the skills gap, hire employees, and grow their companies. The survey is being conducted by Sarasota's Kempton Research and Planning. The survey only takes about 10 minutes and your responses will be kept confidential. Please click on the link below for the county in which your company is located to take the survey.
