Where have all the workers gone? Recruiting and Retaining

Based on the Contractor/Erector Roundtable discussion in Charlotte during our Annual Conference, the labor shortage and recruitment methods are a topic of great interest with a note to have regular roundtable discussions on it. To that end, the planning committee has put together a presentation by a subject matter expert on how to recruit and hire construction workers. We'll combine that with some real-world use examples from our members and show the Career Day Resources MBCEA has. 

Key discussion points:

• What’s happening to our traditional labor sources?  
• Where’s our existing worker pool? 
• Where does that leave us in regards to a workforce?  
• What does the future hold?   
• What should we be doing now to ensure a future workforce?

Fellow member Dunn Building Company will share how they've built a relationship with a local trade school and how they've gotten grants to cover training. 

Fellow member J&M Steel will share their in-house mentor program that has enabled them to significantly increase the number of new hires retained.
