Education and Recruitment — Cure for Workforce Woes?

• Education does not take place in a block of time. For a career to remain viable, vital and productive, ongoing education, training and re-training have to be defined and expected for nearly every position on both the management and production levels.

• A university is the last bastion of idealism. It serves as a laboratory to create situations simulating industry to provide students with a window of their professional future. A university that provides the opportunity for students to experience ideal or near-ideal conditions, graduates individuals who bring some of that idealism to their jobs and, hence, improve the industry.
