[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1053024, member: 12570"] Partially but mostly due to the growing number of high school graduates who lack the basic skills needed to fill these jobs. This is where community colleges can help bridge the gap. Our local community college works with local manufacturers to determine their needs and then offers programs designed to fill those needs. One of these areas locally is wind production---they were having a very hard time finding skilled workers to not only help build but to maintain and operate the windmills. CCC now has a wind program in which the graduates earn an associates in wind technology and more often than not have a job waiting for them upon graduation. This is the first program of its kind in the nation and already has a waiting list. [/QUOTE]
