#3 Workforce Development Update
Last week, SAHBA President David Godlewski participated in “Popcorn with a Program” at Pima Community College featuring Applied Technologies (which includes Building and Construction Technologies degrees/certificates).

This was an opportunity for SAHBA to engage with PCC students about career opportunities in the Construction Trades. It was a reminder there are quality programs in our community who are training students who are ready to work for you. Contact SAHBA if you or your vendors are experiencing labor shortages, we can help fill the gaps.

In addition, the Annual Tucson International Academy Schools Career Expo and Fair is coming up on April 2 nd. We encourage members to sign-up to exhibit. The intent is to expose them to the careers you have to offer and how they can continue in a career with additional training or education as needed. See attached for more info.
