Thomas Launches New Hiring Resource Hubs for Employers, Job Seekers
For years now, Thomas Insights has reported on the industry skills gap. We’ve published reports, highlighted events like Manufacturing Day, Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day, and National Apprenticeship Week, and have provided actionable guides to both younger generations and industry employers on what they can do to bridge the gap and attract new talent.
Today, Thomas is taking its efforts one step further. We’re launching two Thomas Hiring Resource Hubs: an Industrial Employer Resource Hub for business leaders looking for new candidates and an Industrial Job Seeker Resource Hub for industry professionals looking for their next opportunity. Focused compilations of valuable resources for both job seekers and employers, the Hubs aim to help industry professionals on both sides of the hiring process unlock industry’s greatest potential by helping job seekers find their next role and, in turn, helping employers build an accomplished, ambitious workforce.
“We’re excited to unveil our new Thomas Hiring Resource Hubs. Manufacturing is a growing, vibrant, high-tech industry that has a significant skills shortage. We’re thrilled to connect skilled professionals with business leaders looking to expand their diverse workforces,” said Thomas President and CEO, Tony Uphoff. “As the leading platform for industrial buyers and sellers, our data shows 38% of industrial companies are currently hiring and many offer apprenticeship opportunities, so we’ve tailored these Hubs to specifically meet the growing demand for talented workers to fill new collar jobs.”
How to Use the New Thomas Hiring Resource Hubs
The Thomas Insights team has developed a “guide-to-the-guide” that includes our team’s tips and tricks for navigating the Hubs, and some of the resources accessible to employers and job seekers.
