Eaton targets power industry skills gap with investments in education, training, and industry programs for current, next-generation workforce
PITTSBURGH — A strong talent pipeline is needed to address the power industry’s skilled labor shortage. Power management company Eaton is addressing this growing skills gap through long-term investment in educational programs designed to prepare current and next-generation professionals for success in the power industry.
The current skills gap created by a steadily retiring workforce may leave an estimated 2.4 million industrial positions unfilled through 2028, with global productivity losses potentially reaching $2.5 trillion as a result, according to analysts at Deloitte.
