UG2 Launches Facilities Maintenance Training & Innovation Lab to Build Next Generation of PHDs

BOSTON - May 23, 2019 - Rezul -- UG2, a leader in integrated facility services and solutions, has launched the UG2 Training & Innovation Lab to cultivate the next generation of world class Operations & Maintenance professionals. The new, state-of-the-art facility is designed to help UG2 expand its workforce during a time when many companies are competing for talent, particularly in the skilled trades. It is located in the company's Natick, MA facility and is part of the company's multi-tiered approach to talent development.

"UG2 is growing rapidly and we are constantly looking for what we call PHD candidates: people who are passionate, hardworking, and dedicated," says Jim Lane, SVP, Operations & Maintenance at UG2.  "Today's tight labor market combined with an aging skilled trade workforce means that we need to invest in building our team. This new training lab will help us build our team the right way and ensure that we create a sustainable source for talented O&M employees."

More than 40% of today's skilled trade positions are held by people aged 45 and up. As these workers face retirement, there is a shortage of workers to fill their spots. Many younger workers have chosen four-year college and STEM fields; Adecco estimates that 31 million skilled trade positions will be vacant by 2020.
