My last article, “The Critical Facilities Labor Market,” discussed the current shortage of qualified and experienced labor. It focused on how the labor shortage came about and how it is impacting the overall industry. Basically, it honed in on the problem and associated causes. Much of the feedback I received was supportive, but some, especially from a long-time peer, Dennis Cronin (CEO of Resilient Solutions), also pointed out that there are some significant and tangible ongoing efforts to remediate the labor shortage. For this follow-up article, I’ve joined forces with Cronin to focus on how segments of the industry have recognized the labor challenges and initiated efforts to resolve the underlying causes. This includes public awareness campaigns promoting the critical facilities industry as providing desirable careers while concurrently developing professional development paths for those interested in pursuing these opportunities.
