The third quarter of 2004 has arrived and a common question is where do we find the skilled people we need and need now to expand and compete?

I currently am seeing an increase of inquiries to update training of tenured workers along with a shift to developmental or foundation skills for entry-level employees. My clients along with a host of new prospective customers are gearing up and suddenly finding that the talent pool is more limited than in past recoveries. Penn Foster is working to help smooth this transition for our clients by offering “Fast Start” programs geared to cut the training time for experienced hires. Call Tim to discuss just how we can resolve this situation in your organization.

Companies are experiencing this challenge, if you want to stay and compete you better have trained workers and be training on a continual basis. Global economics demand that we step up and produce to survive and as a country, we must have skilled workers to accomplish this task. I believe you will see this issue of training become highly charged on the political level in the coming years for one simple reason; in today’s market the K-12 schools and even college studies are not adequately preparing the student to enter our workforce.

We at Penn Foster are continuing to forge ahead and make all efforts to support, deliver and produce the training you need for the individual or your company. New products are continuing to hit the shelves that enable our clients to pursue the goals of qualified skilled workers at a cost that works within the budgets.
