In this insightful interview, Mr. Tim Raglin, Founding Partner & COO at Skillwork, highlights how he and his dedicated team strive to bridge the gap in the trade and bring better opportunities for skilled labor.
Tim comes from a military background, having served as a Naval Officer. He credits this experience with teaching him the required skills for running a business.
