Powder Coater Podcast

In Episode 82 of The Powder Coater Podcast, Kim Scott and Jim Kunkle continue their Six Huge Gaps in the Powder Coating Industry series by turning the conversation toward workforce development, training, and the next generation of skilled coaters. They explore whether powder coating has created clear enough career pathways, why different generations may need different approaches to learning, and how mentorship, technology, and knowledge sharing can help experienced professionals pass what they know to the people coming behind them.

The bigger question: If we want to attract and keep the next generation, have we built an industry they can actually see themselves growing in?
