In a recent interview on the “RBK-Perm” TV channel, Elena Mizeva, the Director of Human Resources at LLC “Kamsky Cable”, shared her insights on the current trends in the labor market in 2023. She also commented on the shortage of skilled workers in the industrial sector and offered solutions to address this issue.
According to Mizeva, the labor market in 2023 will be characterized by a high demand for skilled workers in the industrial sector. This is due to the growing number of industrial projects and the modernization of existing facilities, which require a highly skilled workforce. However, the supply of skilled workers is not keeping up with this demand, resulting in a shortage of qualified employees.
Mizeva highlighted the main reasons for the shortage of skilled workers, including the aging workforce, lack of interest in technical professions among young people, and the outflow of skilled workers to other countries for better opportunities. She also mentioned the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted the education system and led to a decrease in the number of graduates in technical fields.
To address this issue, Mizeva proposed several solutions. First, she emphasized the importance of promoting technical professions and changing the perception that they are less prestigious than other professions. This can be achieved through targeted advertising campaigns and partnerships with educational institutions to attract more young people to technical fields.
Secondly, Mizeva suggested investing in the training and development of existing employees. This can be done through various programs, such as apprenticeships, on-the-job training, and upskilling courses. By investing in their current workforce, companies can not only fill the skills gap but also retain valuable employees.
Lastly, Mizeva emphasized the need for collaboration between the government, educational institutions, and businesses to address the shortage of skilled workers. This can include creating specialized training programs, providing financial incentives for students pursuing technical professions, and establishing partnerships between businesses and educational institutions.
Mizeva’s insights and proposed solutions have been well received by experts in the industry. They believe that her suggestions, if implemented, can help alleviate the shortage of skilled workers and contribute to the growth of the industrial sector.
In conclusion, the labor market in 2023 is expected to face a shortage of skilled workers in the industrial sector. However, with the right strategies and collaborations, this issue can be addressed. As Mizeva stated, “The future of the industrial sector depends on our ability to invest in our workforce and attract young people to technical professions. Together, we can overcome this challenge and ensure the continued growth and success of our industry.”
