Manufacturing journalist, TR Cutler recently authored an article addressing how U.S. veterans can fill the manufacturing skills gap in Manufacturing Outlook e-zine.
The average U.S. veteran will take more than a year to find sustainable employment after leaving the military. In the interim, these heroic citizens and their families sink into poverty. This employment gap between transitioning from the U.S. military to gainful employment must be filled. Many of these men and women face barriers to employment, including service-connected disabilities.
Veterans have the skills and abilities needed in manufacturing as well as the creativity and critical thinking needed to adapt to new technology. Veterans know the value of teamwork and focus on maximizing individual contribution to the group’s success. In the “crisis management” modality of manufacturing, veterans have already demonstrated the capacity to perform well under pressure. Manufacturers are learning to leverage veterans’ skills and reduce high turnover rates among veteran populations. Manufacturers committed to the veteran workforce include mentoring, which focuses on acclimation into the workforce, then shifting to professional development opportunities.
