#145 - Ontivity’s Outlook on the Wireless Infrastructure Workforce
Episode description
Despite the daily news about a weak economy, the wireless infrastructure business is in a high cycle of activity. Mobile network operators are pushing ahead with 5G cell site construction, mid-band spectrum build-outs, and supporting fiber deployments.
All this activity requires a large, skilled workforce to get the job done. Marshaling and managing a workforce in hiring, training, and retaining skilled technicians to handle all the work that needs to be done is a challenge.
Previous podcasts with training organizations and trade associations have covered workforce development issues.
Ian Stringfellow, Vice President of Operations at Ontivity talks to John Celentano, Inside Towers Business Editor about what it takes for a contracting organization like Ontivity to put, and keep, boots on the ground.
