| "I think one thing your stats may be missing is that a lot of the companies are doing training themselves, and they may have even given up on advertising altogether. They're just not finding candidates." | Central |
| "In this case, we have employees that decided to go back to school, and we've said, 'Okay, you can do that. This is your career progression.' And we've moved them along in career progression in welding; we've offered a high rate of pay and grade in order to get them to stay in school." | Central |
| "The folks that we've hired that have been in school, we encourage them to stay in school. We try to set their work schedule around their classes because we think it's very important that they finish. At that age, they may see gasoline money or something for their car as being more important, but the facts are that they really need to finish their formal education. We'll hire them, work them, and train them while they do that." | Central |
| "In the foreign companies, there are a number of my clients' firms that have set up a program where they will—I don't want to say cherry pick—but they will ensure that they keep certain employees. As they bring in new clients or have to have a new robotic line, they will purposely pull employees aside and say, 'We would like to have you operate—you can use all of your skills—and here's how: There's this school, and we'll pay for it, at least for most of it, and upon your completion, here is a career path that will get you even more money.' That's what they've been doing to not only upgrade their staff, but to make sure they keep them within the company. The last thing you want is to train somebody, pay for that training, and then have them leave." | Central |
