The quotes below are about this issue:
Several employers want new hires that have stronger project management and leadership skills.
| "What we're seeing is that people may be technically very good on the machines, but they are a little bit needier in terms of the soft skills, which includes thinking more about the high level of the quality of our product. It's also looking at things like: How do they interrelate with their peers? How do they lead? How do they demonstrate leadership skills? Even though they may not be the vice president of the factory, everybody, in the end, needs to be somewhat of a leader. So, I think, for us, the struggle is that the training we're trying to do is to ensure that people—with a little bit more of these soft skills of leadership—work at a higher level. And that they're aware of their workstation workflow, and that would include quality." | Metro |
