Habilidades del contratista
Por: Todd Hawkins, Director Ejecutivo Asociado de IEC Atlanta\/GA<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Recientemente, el IEC organiz\u00f3 el concurso Skills USA Georgia Industrial Motor Control Contest en el Georgia World Congress Center. Gracias a estas personas y empresas por apoyar este concurso anual con personal para juzgar el evento:<\/p>\n

Mike Gunter - Secciones de Atlanta y Georgia de la CEI<\/p>\n

Justin Haggard - Servicios el\u00e9ctricos de Capital City<\/p>\n

James Wesley - MetroPower, Inc.<\/p>\n

Travis Worn - Pat Murphy Electric, Inc.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Skills USA es un club que opera principalmente en colegios e institutos p\u00fablicos. Skills USA ayuda a los j\u00f3venes a desarrollar habilidades en automoci\u00f3n, artes culinarias, cumplimiento de la ley, carpinter\u00eda y muchos de los oficios especializados. Los talentos que adquieren en Skills USA convierten a estas personas en candidatos id\u00f3neos para trabajar para los contratistas miembros del CEI.<\/p>\n

Por ejemplo, en febrero se celebraron concursos de oficios especializados en fontaner\u00eda, ebanister\u00eda, electricidad y alba\u00f1iler\u00eda, entre otros. Dado que estos estudiantes ya est\u00e1n acostumbrados a trabajar en estos oficios, los miembros del CEI pueden convencerles de que elijan la construcci\u00f3n el\u00e9ctrica como carrera profesional.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>IEC Atlanta y Georgia Cap\u00edtulos continuamente busca m\u00e1s personas a trabajar para las empresas miembros. Espec\u00edficamente se buscan personas que ya tengan alguna relaci\u00f3n con el trabajo manual, que muestren el deseo de trabajar como electricistas o que tengan alg\u00fan tipo de formaci\u00f3n profesional. Encontrar este tipo de personas ayuda a los miembros de IEC porque en muchos casos estas personas ya entienden el entorno de trabajo y tienen habilidades afines.<\/p>\n

Necesitamos que los solicitantes pasen a ser contratados. Del 1 de enero al 28 de febrero de 2022, el IEC recibi\u00f3 aproximadamente 72 solicitantes para el programa de aprendizaje. Se trata de personas que expresaron su deseo de trabajar para las empresas miembro. La clave es actuar con rapidez para iniciar el proceso de contrataci\u00f3n. Para ello, se insta a los contratistas a que revisen peri\u00f3dicamente la lista de personas sin trabajo, env\u00eden un mensaje de texto a las personas con las que les interese hablar e inv\u00edtenlas a una entrevista. Las entrevistas virtuales pueden funcionar como primer paso.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Para aquellos contratistas que necesitan contratar a personas con experiencia antes de contratar a otras m\u00e1s verdes, el servicio Ladder viene con su afiliaci\u00f3n. En este momento Ladder muestra 2396<\/strong> candidatos activos que buscan empleo en IEC Member. Una inmersi\u00f3n m\u00e1s profunda muestra que las empresas de la CEI tienen 10 o m\u00e1s candidatos activos por semana.\u00a0<\/p>\n

El IEC espera encontrar m\u00e1s trabajadores interesados para las empresas miembros, ver a esos candidatos trabajar para usted y encontrar formas de ayudarle a retener a esos nuevos trabajadores a lo largo del camino.<\/p>\n
