Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see JD. this is just my observation and opinion but your friend needs to set up a mentoring or apprentice ship program at work, that 80 year old fellow that scrapes the ways on those machines should have a younger person working right with him learning those skills, and yes I know, just try and find that young person that wants to learn those skills, but what several shops in our area are doing is looking for kids raised on the farm, or their dads had a construction business, kids raised with a wrench in their hands, know how to work with their hands, know what a tape measure, a level and square are for and how to use them. the comment above about schools shutting down shop classes is one of the root causes of the dilema we find ourselves in. yes techknowledgy is great, computors make our world so much easier to go out and get answers we want in an instant, but a computor can't build a new house, machine a new part for a piece of older equipment, someone still has to get their hands dirty, JD. next time your talking to your friend with the manufacturing plant suggest to him a really good place to go looking for skilled employees, is the military. they teach every skill out there, forget the colledges and universitys, he needs people that have discipline, a strong work ethic, KNOW WHAT THIER HANDS ARE FOR, theres only a handful of places that teach that today, the farm, the family business, the military. for example one place I know of has punted their wanna be security firms and hired ex M.P.s, their breakins and thefts have gone way down. next time your talking to your friend JD. drop that suggestion in his ear. there are good employees out there JD. he's just looking in the wrong place.
