The Problem

The Hiring Model is Broken

If the job requires experience—but nobody stays long enough to gain it—what do you do?

You’re under pressure to fill roles in systems that can’t go dark. But the resumes don’t match the work. Training takes too long. And your consultants are still clocking in—at $300/hour.

“We’ve had a mainframe posting open for six months. The only people applying are either overqualified or gone in a year.”

— Head of Mainframe, Global Retailer

“We can’t keep onboarding junior data hires who leave before they learn our environment.”

— Director of Data Analytics, National Healthcare Network

Traditional hiring isn’t built for long-term performance. It’s built for short-term placement. And now, you’re stuck with a revolving door that slows everything down.

Your New Workforce Solution

What Is SkillsFit™?

SkillsFit™ is a contract-to-hire apprenticeship program co-developed by Franklin Skills and YUPRO Placement—built to help companies grow the talent they can’t find.

Instead of searching for the “perfect” candidate, you bring in pre-vetted, coach-supported talent who are trained on your systems, embedded in your teams, and ready to contribute within 8 weeks.

It’s not staffing. It’s not consulting. It’s a workforce solution that builds loyalty, skills, and internal capacity—without burdening your teams or blowing your budget.

Hire–Grow–Advance

How It Works

Hire

Start with pre-vetted talent who complete a 100-hour pre-apprenticeship and match your role requirements based on skills, not resumes.

Grow

Apprentices are embedded in your environment and contribute on day one. Franklin Skills provides customized training. YUPRO Placement delivers wraparound coaching and retention support.

Advance

When ready, you convert apprentices to full-time or extended contract roles—with zero conversion fees and no drop in performance.

While your team stays focused on the work, we handle:

Sourcing and screening
Payroll, compliance, and benefits
Training, coaching, and performance tracking

All you do is build your workforce—with less risk and more return.

Benefits for Employers

Solve Your Toughest Hiring Challenges

Here’s what you get with every placement:

✓ Faster Time to Productivity
✓ Reduced Churn and Rehire Costs
✓ Lower Consultant Spend

It’s not about hiring more. It’s about hiring smarter—with results that stick.

Why Now?

The Urgency of Talent Strategy

Legacy systems are aging. Roles are going unfilled. And AI won’t fix your talent pipeline.

The pace of business is accelerating—but your workforce strategy is stuck screening resumes and cycling consultants.

You don’t need more hiring tools. You need a new hiring model.

SkillsFit™ gives you:

A way to build talent in high-stakes roles before the knowledge gap widens
A partner that reduces risk while improving retention
A workforce solution that meets today’s urgency—with tomorrow’s goals in mind

The longer you wait, the harder this gets.

Common Questions and Concerns

FAQ

“We already have a staffing vendor in place.”

Staffing firms fill seats. SkillsFit™ builds contributors. Our apprentices come trained, coached, and ready to stay—reducing churn, cost, and rework.

“This sounds like a DEI program—and those are on pause.”

This isn’t about optics. It’s about outcomes. We solve real talent gaps in mainframe, data, and tech ops—with talent who are productive fast and loyal long-term.

“This seems like a lot of work to get started.”

It’s not. We own the heavy lift—sourcing, hiring, training, and coaching—so you can focus on productivity, not program management.

The Cost of Doing Nothing

Delayed Productivity

Every open role means another project stalls—and your teams carry the weight.

Knowledge Drain

Consultants leave. So does critical system knowledge your business depends on.

Budget Burn

Rehiring, retraining, and temp fixes keep costing more—with no long-term payoff.
