Abstract

Since the Permian Basin area requires a specific skillset, what can and is being done to find and retain those needed employees? Has anything been done to alleviate the continual issue of skilled worker shortages in the area? A critical shortage in skilled workers can be caused by retirement, youth moving to different areas, families relocating out of the area, lack of interest, and no training offered within a close proximity. A system that is working for employers and employees are partnerships. Employers today require specific skillsets resulting in business and industry partnering with high schools and community colleges to create skill-specific training. This chapter explores this phenomenon.
