Highlights
This presentation will demonstrate how the Department of Defense is taking positive action to assist employers in developing and implementing high-performance talent acquisition and retention systems to meet the long-term workforce challenge.
Overview
Building a stronger, more resilient maritime industrial base workforce center of gravity across Pennsylvania—particularly in a post-pandemic environment—requires that organizations reimagine the way they plan for and develop the human capital aspects of their businesses. Hiring new, skilled employees and building bench strength in the existing workforce will require a networked community and innovative approaches that overcome some challenging inefficiencies in the technical trade skills market. The overlap of desired trade skills into adjacent market spaces—compounded by high rates of attrition from an experienced legacy workforce and a cultural focus on four-year academic degrees—have created the exact set of circumstances that require urgent and aligned workforce-centered action.
