The skills gap in US manufacturing: 2015 and beyondReport by: Deloitte Consulting

https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/manufacturing/articles/boiling-point-the-skills-gap-in-us-manufacturing.html

Skills GapHappening Today

“…manufacturers report the most significant business impact of the talent shortage is their ability to meet customer demand.”

Skills GapProjects show worsening impact

“Considering skilled production occupations account for over 50 percent of the total manufacturing workforce, worker shortages in this category will present a significant challenge to companies. Manufacturers are also feeling the pinch when it comes to highly specialized and innovative employees, such as scientists and design engineers.”

Skills GapDeveloping Talent is solution…

“While overall manufacturing remains less popular than other industries as a career choice (ranked fifth out of seven provided industries, and dead last for Gen Y), respondents with high manufacturing industry familiarity rank it higher as a career choice (third out of seven).”
