It\u2019s roughly an hour and a half from the San Francisco Bay, and the high property values in the nearby city have made the town of roughly 20,000 an ideal place for an increasing number of distribution centers\u2014especially large ones. There\u2019s only one challenge: Many of the younger generation coming up, the future workforce, are a single generation from migrant workers. Their parents have picked apricots and tomatoes, and for many of them, the idea of working in supply chain conjures up nothing more than visions of dirty, dark warehouses and long, hard hours of labor\u2014if any images at all.<\/p>\n<p>Helping these familiesunderstand the depth and variety of careers available can be as challenging as helping the industry\u2019s companies understand the worth in reaching out. Collaboration between companies, universities, twoyear colleges, high schools and government entities is key, for both the industry and the communities it serves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biggest surprise to me, and it might sound contradictory, is how important the workforce is from the perspective of businesses looking at locating here,\u201d said Philip Alfano, superintendent of Patterson Joint Unified School District. \u201cI sat in on a site selector meeting, and that issue was front and center. I would have thought they\u2019d be looking at tax incentives, the cost of land, the proximity to transportation centers, that sort of thing. That\u2019s all important, but what\u2019s most important to these businesses is a qualified workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that Baby Boomers are retiring at a rapid pace\u2014and that there aren\u2019t enough trained workers in younger generations to fill their spots. As in other industries, the challenge is real in supply chain and material handling. Research from Deloitte Consulting LLP showed that some forecast the demand for supply chain professionals could exceed supply by a ratio of six to one.<\/p>\n<p><em>By Fiona Soltes<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nxtbook.com\/naylor\/MHIQ\/MHIQ0216\/index.php#\/24\">Click here to read the full article.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patterson, CA is right off Interstate 5.
