By now, we all know the challenge we’re facing when it comes to recruiting and retaining talent in our industry. Each year, the U.S. engineering industry needs about 400,000 new engineers, yet about one-third of engineering roles are expected to remain unfilled through at least 2030.
It’s incumbent on us to do a better job of explaining to young people why a career in engineering is an exciting and fulfilling path.
As a CEO, my top priority is creating and maintaining an environment where our employees can honestly say that they love where they work. But that’s only part of the message. We need to show our employees and future prospects that their work has purpose and is having a positive impact on their communities.
Going forward, we need to communicate to the younger generations that work in the engineering fields can be extremely rewarding.
