It's Not Your Imagination - The FM Talent Gap: Other Sources of Talent
In our first episode we confirmed that we do, indeed, have a talent gap problem in Facility Management. In episode 2 we looked at what Higher Ed had to offer us in terms of solutions and found that the number of students in FM was dwindling. And in Episode 3 we looked at ways to drive more high school students into the trades and into Facilities Management certificate and degree programs.
Now, in episode 4, Kate interviews Athene Sirivallop and Emily Wadman about other sources of talent. Tune in to hear these industry experts share their sources of talent from outside the box.
