Solving the skills gap and making sure your business has the talent you need to succeed is a top priority for the NC Chamber. Our team is working on both short- and long-term solutions to address this issue, including our Talent Pipeline Management program. A key piece of any solution, however, must be high-quality data that informs any action—which is why we’re supporting a survey examining workforce solutions.

Organized by a doctoral candidate at North Carolina A&T State University, this survey will examine various approaches to solving the skills gap (including recruitment methods, on-the-job training and apprenticeships) and seeks to determine the decisions that lead to choosing any particular method.

If you’re interested in providing your perspective, this 15-minute survey is intended to be completed by the leader(s) responsible for making workforce development strategy decisions at a local level. While the survey is anonymous, participants may separately enter a drawing for a $375 Hilton gift card.

The survey is open now and closes August 23. You can begin the survey by clicking here. We look forward to sharing the results with you in early September.
