Tackling the Skills Shortage in Manufacturing

Finding Skilled People When Local Recruitment Isn’t Enough

Finding skilled people continues to be one of the biggest challenges facing manufacturing and precision engineering companies in Ireland.

What happens when you have the work, the capacity to grow and the need for additional people — but simply cannot find the right skills locally?

For our next PTMA Expert Talk, we will be joined by Aureol Global Connections to explore how manufacturers can look beyond the local talent pool and access skilled international workers.

Aureol Global Connections specialises in international recruitment for manufacturing and engineering, supporting employers with sourcing and selecting skilled candidates as well as the processes involved in bringing them into the business. Aureol Global Connections
