Finding skilled tradespeople is one of the biggest challenges in the construction and cabinetry industries. In a recent podcast episode, Dominic Rubino sat down with Samuel Schneider, founder of Journeyman Staff, to discuss a unique solution: hiring master woodworkers from Europe. These craftsmen, trained through rigorous apprenticeship programs in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, bring a level of expertise that can elevate your business.
In Europe, apprenticeships are a respected pathway into the trades. Samuel explains how young tradespeople spend years honing their craft through a combination of classroom learning and hands-on experience. This structured system produces professionals who are not only skilled in woodworking but also understand the importance of precision and efficiency.
For young tradespeople in Europe, working abroad offers the chance to gain life experience, improve their English, and broaden their career horizons. Many are drawn to North America for its opportunities and diverse landscapes, making it a win-win for both the craftsmen and the businesses that hire them.
Journeyman Staff makes the process seamless for North American businesses. From visa applications to finding housing, Samuel’s team handles the logistics so you can focus on integrating these skilled workers into your team.
If your business is facing a skilled labor shortage, hiring internationally could be the solution you’ve been looking for. Samuel’s approach ensures a smooth transition for both employers and employees, creating lasting partnerships that benefit everyone involved.
