Each occupation was also paired with the type of training required. Most of the chronically difficult to fill positions require short or moderate-term on-the-job training. 53% of all of these positions typically require only on-the-job training, and 47% require some postsecondary schooling. So employers will need to provide the training to solve the problem.
