From the Chairman

Focus: Workforce Development

2

Workforce Development is not just a local issue – it is a state and national issue effecting all business – from manufacturers and healthcare providers to retailers and small businesses. As the area's voice for business, the Greater Hall Chamber is addressing the needs of area employers and recently implemented a workforce initiative. The mission of GainesvilleHall County’s newly formed Workforce Development Task Force is to collaborate with area employers, educators and leaders to create new programs, market existing programs, remove barriers and influence perceptions. The group is dedicated to making an impact by building on a sustainable workforce that possesses the skills needed by today’s and tomorrow’s employers. Perry Barnett, CPA and partner with Rushton & Company, is chair of the Workforce Development Task Force (WDTF).

David Lee Jackson EMC Chairman, Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce

Earning and Learning

At a recent Industry Employer Forum hosted by the WDTF, Perry Barnett presented the results of a survey of 58 manufacturing employers. The most significant issue facing employers overall is under qualified job applicants, followed by lack of applicants and an aging workforce. Only 25% of the industries surveyed in our community employ high school students as part of a Work Based Learning Program. Currently, 800 students are participating in work based learning locally but only 2% of those are in manufacturing and 26% of Hall County’s workforce is employed in goods producing. The event included a panel discussion with Phil Sutton, Kubota Manufacturing of America, and Mike Holman, Baldor Electric.

Kubota’s longterm plan is for all new hires to go through an apprentice program. Sutton discussed Kubota's student work program with 25 students participating and making $10.50 an hour. He stated that as a community we should do a better job of educating our students and future workforce by offering opportunities for careers in manufacturing. He noted that in our community only 30% of high school graduates are going to college. We must engage the other 70%. Baldor's Mike Holman is a graduate of Johnson High School and Georgia Tech. He is now plant manager and stated that the company's corporate plan nationally is to “grow their own employees.” Baldor's apprentices primarily come from the Johnson High's work based learning program with students pre-screened and interview-ready. The WDTF's Plan of Action for 2015 is to increase high school apprenticeships, increase employer presence in schools and investigate dual enrollment programs.

King's Hawaiian hosted a tour for Work Based Learning Coordinators and Counselors from area high schools. As a part of Workforce Development efforts, area educational professionals have been invited to get outside the classroom and tour area industries. So far they have toured Kubota, IMS Gear, SKF USA Inc. and King’s Hawaiian.
