Hiring Practices — Finding the Right Fit

VSI recently was included in a “Top Workplaces” article in Milwaukee Magazine, and was credited for its extensive orientation program that “gives new hires deep exposure into every department.”

The company, however, sees a serious problem looming on the horizon—the lack of young people choosing the printing industry for a career. VSI is involved with a project called “CONVERSAcTIONS” sponsored by the Waukesha County Technical College and Waukesha County Economic Development Corp. The group discusses regional workforce objectives, including issues of skill shortages among the younger workforce and the lack of exposure young people have to possible career paths in the graphic arts.
