This weeks guest is Juvi Calvo, President of TipTig and Republic Testing Labs in Houston, Texas. In this episode we dive into the changes we’d love to see in the welding industry to enhance the trade as a whole. We all know about the labor shortages, the skills gap, and the push for automation to support skilled workers, with employers struggling to find qualified help. During our conversation,  Juvi and I discuss a few ideas on how to address these issues. We hope that some of you will consider implementing these changes in your own shops to boost performance, improve retention, and reduce turnover. If you're an employee or someone new to the industry, you might want to look for these practices at your next workplace.
