Combating the workforce in Huntsville By Kailey Schuyler | April 26, 2021 at 11:06 PM CDT - Updated April 26 at 11:17 PM
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - Businesses across the country are short-staffed and desperate to hire employees. Here in Huntsville, one nonprofit organization is trying to combat this nationwide workforce crisis.
Hatch Co-Founder, Garrett Coyne says the organization is focusing on workforce development. It is not an immediate fix for short-staffed companies but rather developing 18 to 24-year-olds for a long-term solution.
“We have to bring people here to fill the jobs that we have been able to bring to this community. It is a great problem to have,” says Huntsville Mayor, Tommy Battle.
