Textile Industry Needs More Employees The textile industry is grappling with a problem. It’s not unique to the textile industry but it’s still a problem. And a very real one. It’s the problem of getting enough people to run the plants. The stated purpose of the special month is to make the public more aware that the industry is career-oriented and offers job security and advancement for persons with every kind of educational background. Textile Careers Month is being sponsored by the various textile com panies in cooperation with the American Textile Manufacturers In stitute. The special observance will bring a lot of attention to the in dustry, along with the opportunities it offers. While talents of every kind can be utilized in the textile industry, from accountants to researchers, the real need is for production work ers in the plants. There are plenty of opportunities for newer employ ees to work themselves up to better jobs. Textiles is a living, thriving industry offering satisfying careers for virtually everyone, regardless of their skills. The industry needs pro duction workers, electricians, carpenters, mechanics, designers, com puter operators and programmers, secretaries, stylists, colorists and many others. What can you, as someone already employed in textiles, do about it? First, you can realize that you are a part of a basic, necessary in dustry. Next, you can spread the word that the textile industry has a good thing going and invite others in your family, neighborhood or circle of friends to give consideration to joining this vital, important industry.
