Introducing a New Era in Labor Dispatching

In an era marked by a chronic shortage of skilled labor, Will of Work, a company offering comprehensive human resources services under the Will Group banner, is breaking the traditional labor dispatch model. In response to the ever-growing need for skilled engineers in manufacturing and engineering sectors, the company has unveiled its pioneering program known as the “Collaborative Engineer Development Dispatch.” This innovative service aims to address the challenges posed by the scarcity of experienced professionals by actively developing and empowering inexperienced individuals in collaboration with client companies.

Understanding the Service Background

The manufacturing industry faces fierce competition when it comes to hiring immediate contributors skilled in mechanical and electrical electronics. This has left many companies struggling to meet their workforce needs adequately. Rising complexity in hiring experienced workers, coupled with high recruitment costs, has led to a loss of businesses due to supply-demand discrepancies, highlighting the limitations of the conventional dispatch model.

While initiatives to train inexperienced workers have become common, many face the problem of fragmented training and practical work knowledge. This disconnect makes it increasingly difficult to satisfy the immediate workforce needs of enterprises while simultaneously fostering the long-term career growth of individuals.

Drawing from its vast experience in the field of labor dispatch, contracting, and recruitment across the manufacturing landscape, Will of Work has now launched this integrated approach that combines recruitment, training, and dispatching into one cohesive model.

Features of the Service

The newly implemented service allows Will of Work to recruit and hire inexperienced individuals as full-time employees. The training period prior to dispatch lasts approximately one month and is based on educational programs provided by the client companies, ensuring that training is directly applicable to real-world work.

During the training phase, Will of Work absorbs all labor costs while the partnering companies provide training programs that develop foundational knowledge of mechanical and electrical engineering principles along with practical know-how. Once the preparatory training is completed, these individuals can seamlessly transition into their roles as dispatch employees or go on to work in other sectors such as the automotive or semiconductor industries.

A Supportive Path from Inexperience to Expertise

1. A Model that Cultivates Engineers from Ground Zero:
This unique development-based model allows individuals without prior industry experience to be hired as full-time employees. Through gradual, structured training and hands-on experience, Will of Work focuses on nurturing them into skilled mechanical and electrical engineers. The recruitment process places a high priority on motivation and potential, widening the talent pool, and promoting sustainable hiring practices.

2. Practical Training Focused on Real-World Requirements:
The training program is tailored to instill not only essential knowledge of the mechanical and electrical electronics fields but also practical skills relevant to positions they will undertake later. The approach equips trainees with the necessary skills and thought processes that enhance their transition into an actual work environment, ensuring a smoother shift from theory to practice.

3. Ongoing Support and Follow-Up Post-Dispatch:
Even after placement, Will of Work continues to routinely support both the engineers and client companies, ensuring a stable work environment and aiding in employee retention. As engineers build their experience in the field, they are expected to improve their expertise and advance their careers.

This initiative from Will of Work is branded as a “Collaborative Talent Development Model,” where the focus is not just on providing manpower but on jointly fostering and developing talent alongside companies. By creating an integrated model that encompasses training and empowerment, Will of Work aims to establish a sustainable dispatch approach in an age characterized by labor shortages.
