Please Join us for our November Dinner Meeting and

Panel Discussion:

"The Skilled Labor Shortage in the Construction Industry - What's the Solution?"

 

Get These Questions & More Answered by our Panel:

• What do you believe is the root cause of our current skilled labor shortage?

• What traditional methods are construction companies using to lure skilled workers?

• Are you seeing use of labor-saving equipment and virtual construction methods like BIM or equipment maker innovations to overcome worker shortfalls?

• At what age/grade level do you believe the conversation about skilled labor and construction career paths should start? 

• How do we connect the construction industry to education?

• What are you/your organizations doing that we probably don’t know about to help alleviate the skilled labor shortage?

• What do you feel is the reason so few women are in the construction industry?

• Other states have formed construction business, education and association alliances, such as Virginia Workforce Development Construction Coalition, Go Build Alabama and Be Pro Be Proud in Arkansas.  What, if anything, does Pennsylvania have?  How can what we have be improved upon?  What is holding Pennsylvania back?  

• Where do we go from here? What's the solution?  How can associations like ASA help?
