A much-discussed manufacturing skills gap between retiring baby boomers and millennials in their 20s and 30s—plus, current 18 to 23-year-olds who belong to Generation Z—remains an issue.
According to a 2018 Manufacturing Skills Gap study from Deloitte, the skills gap may leave an estimated 2.4 million positions unfilled over the next decade. The study also shows that positions related to digital talent, skilled production, and operational management may be three times more difficult to fill in the next three years.
