Turn Skills into Profits!
More than 40% of the U.S. workforce and more than 50% of high school graduates don’t have the skills to do their jobs. Research shows that programs that seek to develop employees’ skills and abilities increase productivity, create employees who work smarter and better, and prepare workers to cope with change more effectively. Training programs have also demonstrated improvements in staff/union/management relationships, while companies that have invested in employee training and upgrades report increased positive benefits and profits. Hiring College graduates is no guarantee of having a skillful workforce, as an Adult National Literacy Survey reported with 16% of college graduates having inadequate skills for their jobs.
The greatest need that translates into the finest and most immediate reward for businesses are the investments companies make in workplace development and skills literacy. Although the impact of basic skills training varies according to the levels of skills deficiencies, it is still most often the best first place to start.
