NJ tech companies have trouble finding qualified workers
Are Potential employees “Stuck on Stupid” ?
New Jersey technology employers say it’s tough to find skilled workers. Educators say they aren’t looking hard enough. And a survey released Thursday by an industry trade group pointed out the huge disconnect.
A survey by the New Jersey Technology Council found nearly six in 10 technology executives said their biggest employment obstacle is either finding qualified workers or training them.
But even more said they weren’t aware either of job fairs for veterans that could provide a key source of help or of government incentives that are available to them. (Diamond, Asbury Park Press)
Thanks again for interesting view on employment problems.
What kinds of solutions can be offered by our readers here, would that be helpful?
How about starting with placing a Math and Science curriculum in the Ridgewood school system that actually teaches math and science?
The Ridgewood Post Office is doing a terrible job. They have messed up our mail so much that bills are never delivered and we are charged late fees through no fault of our own. My husband went to the RPO – which doesn’t open until after 10 am. by the way – and complained. The Postmaster couldn’t have been more disinterested and unsympathetic and said that we are the end of the route and his mail carriers don’t like walking to our block. What? If we did our jobs, like they did theirs we’d be fired! Whatever happened to their motto “through rain or snow or sleet or hail the Postal Service will never fail”?
It’s funny – sad really – how the junk mail that we don’t ask for or need always seems to find us. But not the important stuff. Can someone help us?
