Booming tech industry in Eugene looking for more qualified local employees | KMTR
Quote:
For Arcimoto, their main export is FUV's, also known as 'Fun Utility Vehicles.'
To get these cars moving requires engineers, programmers, manufacturers and other highly skilled employees like Alex Nordenson, who runs the metal laser cutter.
Nordenson is one of 40 employees, but Arcimoto is looking to potentially hire 200 more in the next two years. Business is taking off, and they just got started on a new factory. The problem is finding enough people with the right skills.
"Eugene is getting pretty skinny when it comes to the number of people available for the jobs that are coming in," said Terry Becker, the Chief Operating Officer for Arcimoto.
