What to Know: Some employers are creating on-the-job “boot camps” to help fill our their workforce requirements.

The TPPF Take: This is an innovative way to address a growing shortage of skilled workers.

“Rather than tackling college with its required courses, many young people might be better off by finding an employer in the manufacturing or construction business who is willing to teach the basics on the job,” says TPPF’s Erin Valdez. “In addition to the usual job search websites, local unions, and Apprenticeship.gov are sources of information about where to find entry-level jobs that offer earn-while-you learn experience.”
