Thanks for the suggestions guys. I still welcome anymore on this topic. Another thing that has made me think about this is the fact today companies and industries look to create "communities". Whether it's online, like this forum, or monthly gatherings etc. A community that people can feel welcome, appreciated and feel that they get value from. This could help develop a solid team to help alleviate the "personnel" issue. I'm thinking that even if we offer the training to prospective employees then we can have a pool of guys available on an as need basis and start to create value within our local contractors community. I'm not sure exactly how to put together, but I obviously want to do this to give us an advantage and not to shoot ourselves in the foot.
