North Carolina employers are not only facing a worker shortage. WE are facing a readiness shortage. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1EbziSQ9hb/?mibextid=wwXIfr
According to the 2024 Employer Needs Survey, 82% of employers surveyed tried to hire, and 62% of hiring employers reported difficulty finding workers.
For entry-level positions, the top challenge was not education, It was employability skills.
Employers need people who can show up prepared, communicate professionally, follow expectations, solve problems, understand workplace systems, and grow into technical roles. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1EbziSQ9hb/?mibextid=wwXIfr
For experienced positions, employers also reported challenges with applicants, work experience, education, employability skills, and technical skills.
This is exactly why RIDDICKANCO is building career pathways in auditing, quality, compliance, safety, cybersecurity awareness, manufacturing, aerospace, defense, and regulated industries.
We are not just talking about training. We are talking about changing the economic development workforce.
My goal is simple:
Help people discover opportunities.
Help them develop professional and accredited.
Help employers find better-prepared talent.
Help communities strengthen long-term economic mobility while also boosting Fayetteville retention rate for the ages 35 and younger. We have to build our community as retirements and economic changes are happening rapidly to North Carolina as a whole and Fayetteville is preparing to bring more personnel to fayetteville as the goal is to move up a tier.
The lane I have created creates jobs reaching over 60k minimum first year, Becoming an Auditor across any industry is urgent and gives opportunities for companies to insource the jobs rather than contract someone.
Talent exists everywhere.
Opportunity does not always. RIDDICKANCO is here to help bridge that gap.
