The manufacturing sector represents the second largest group of employers in the region, and these employers consistently report difficulty filling open jobs. Based on local labour market data, one of the most frequent issues manufacturing employers face is candidates with a lack of soft skills – people they report do not have the interpersonal, communication, or motivational skills to be a good fit with employers who are hiring.
