USA -- With more than 2,000 open jobs across the country and continued investment in apprenticeships and training initiatives, Siemens is committed to bringing Americans back into the workforce.
At the 8th annual SelectUSA Investment Summit, Siemens announced the launch of its Where the Jobs Are 2021 series to highlight the company's training and career opportunities across the country. With more than 2,000 job openings in the US, Siemens is investing in advanced workforce development, training, and apprenticeship programs, the company said in a press release.
Each month, Siemens will feature open positions in its business units and training initiatives available through partnerships with universities, community colleges, technical and trade schools across the country.
"Our company's success rests on skilled workers around the world - not just within our own company, but also among our suppliers and customers," said Barbara Humpton, president and CEO of Siemens USA. "Now, more than ever, the country needs an inclusive workforce development agenda that brings more people into the process and doesn't leave anyone behind --because when everyone has the opportunity to thrive, we all succeed."
At Siemens, skilled trade jobs account for 32 percent of its entire hiring demand, with open positions primarily in its manufacturing facilities in Sacramento, California, Roebuck/Spartanburg, South Carolina, Southaven, Mississippi, and Grand Prairie, Texas, the company said in a press release.
To help fill skilled trade roles for both Siemens and its customers, the company partners with community and technical schools to help inform curriculum, provide hardware and software grants, and collaborate on certifications like mechatronics to prepare skilled workers to secure a high-paying job without the need of a four-year degree.
