The Wall Street Journal recently published a story about a growing trend among Gen Z students opting to enroll in vocational training programs instead of a traditional college. Rising pay, new technologies and a favorable job market are outweighing soaring costs for a college education, the burden of long-term debt and uncertain employment. Manufacturing employers seeking to fill an increasing demand for skilled labor should consider ways to attract this burgeoning workforce. One effective way to do this is by offering a robust benefits package. 87% of manufacturing employees believe benefits are just as important as salary, as revealed in our recently published 2024 MANUFACTURING FINANCIAL WELLNESS EBOOK.

Add in a broken white-collar recruiting system (AI sorting out employees for arbitrary and/or unknown reasons, multiple/repetitive rounds of interviews over multiple weeks or months, being ghosted by recruiters/firms after all that and then seeing the exact same job posted three weeks later...) it's no wonder Gen Z is turning to more reliable and rewarding trade work. Te-Ping Chen at The Wall Street Journal takes a look. #hiringtrends #HR #tradework #recruiting #recruitingisbroken #genZ https://lnkd.in/eWXqFATn
