Full Description
The shortage of skilled labor in the USA was a gradual process and did not take place in a single night. Over the years, vocational education was heavily stressed, and skilled trade workers were undervalued. Consequently, the transition resulted in the unavailability of trained personnel in the most important sectors, especially in large cities like Philadelphia, where the shortage was very noticeable.
The demand for vocational education has brought back vocational colleges as the most suitable solution, which are teaching the trades that lead to steady employment. Selecting the best trade program is one way to mitigate the skilled labor shortage issue by making ready-made professionals for construction, electrical, HVAC, and manufacturing occupations that are vital for the growth of local economies.
