Blogger and manufacturing executive Perry Sainati recently posted an exchange with Ray Prendergast, head of manufacturing technology for Richard J. Daley College in Chicago. Asked for his advice to manufacturing employers, Mr. Prendergast said, “Build your own talent pipeline.” I’ve written about the need to do this as well. Mr. Prendergast says this pipeline is valuable not only because a manufacturing company needs to secure its own source for up-and-coming talent, but also because the employees themselves are looking for this. Clear opportunity for advancement is something that employee prospects frequently consider when looking at an employer.
