This is good news for GenZ and Alpha

> Farley attributes the difficulty in filling these jobs to a systemic lack of education and training opportunities. Complex skills required for these roles, such as removing a diesel engine from a Ford Super Duty truck, need at least five years of training, and the country lacks sufficient trade schools and investment in vocational education.

> Farley has established a task force to develop ways to foster more skilled tradespeople. Ford funds programs like the Auto Tech Scholarship, awarding millions annually to students studying to become service technicians, and plans to collaborate with organizations like SkillsUSA to enhance vocational and automotive education, including practical learning experiences for K-12 students.

Love it when these CEOs bitch and moan

Zero chance this is the full story.
