In my role as Stone World editor, I report on stone fabrication shops across the country on a regular basis. When I ask them what their biggest challenge is (other than the economy), the answer is invariably, "Finding and training good employees."
With this in mind, I was astonished to read the results of the current industry poll at www.stoneworld.com, which reports that today's fabrication shops find themselves to be far too busy to participate in educational programs.
