“Companies Look to UConn to Help Fill Global Workforce Shortage

Sarah Worden is the senior director of human resources at ebm-papst, a high-tech German company that designs fans, refrigerator systems, and other air ventilation devices for large companies, including Amazon, Meta, Trane and Lennox. The company has facilities in Farmington. Worden says she had only recently learned about the UConn programs, and was attending the event in search of talent and connections.

“Having exposure to German companies and German life absolutely would set someone apart as a job candidate, and would add tremendous benefit to our organization,’’ she says. “We’re very happy to be here.’’

Ted Fisher, senior director of business development and advanced manufacturing at AdvanceCT, noted that there is a global workforce shortage, and that smart UConn students are very much in demand not only nationally but around the world. Precision manufacturing remains a strength in the state of Connecticut, he says.”
