CHICAGO—The PTDA Foundation raised about $290,000 from companies and individuals to support the industry in attracting and retaining a sufficient work force.
The funds are used through the PTDA's PT Work ForceSM initiative, which provides employers in the PT/MC channel with resources to assist in developing its work force, according to a news release.
Through the support of the program, the industry is collaborating on research, knowledge and resources to improve perception of member companies as good places to work, said Keith Novak, 2018 PTDA Foundation vice president, of MPT Drives Inc. in Madison Heights, Mich.
Resources which have already been developed to help employers in the PT/MC industry hire and retain talent are available at ptworkforce.org.
