Out of hands: With skills scarce, some West Michigan manufacturers train their own talent

Orders are up at West Michigan’s factories. But the number of people with the skills to fill them is down. Way down.
“There are not enough skilled people to go around,” said Michael Kiss, head of the applied technology department at Grand Rapids Community College and coordinator of its manufacturing apprenticeship program. “We have been getting calls every day of the week for the past six months” from employers trying to fill openings.
