Forklift Operators
Forklift operators are trained professionals who use forklifts to move heavy loads around warehouses, factories, or construction sites. Their duties include loading and unloading trucks, stacking materials, and transporting goods to different areas of a facility. Forklift operators are essential for improving efficiency in material handling, as they can quickly move large quantities of goods that would otherwise take much longer to transport manually.

The manufacturing sector is experiencing an unprecedented talent shortage, driven by the retirement of experienced workers, rapid industry growth, and a misalignment between education and industry needs. By 2033, the industry will require 3.8 million new employees, but without significant changes, half of these positions may go unfilled. To address this challenge, manufacturing leaders must adopt proactive solutions focused on attracting, training, and retaining talent.

According to a report by Deloitte, the skills gap in manufacturing could result in 2.1 million unfilled jobs by 2030.
