Similar meeting scheduled for December 11 on Verde Campus
More than 50 building industry representatives met on the Prescott Campus October 24 to help craft a plan to develop and retain a strong workforce to meet long-term industry needs. The meeting was organized in response to a perceived workforce shortage in the building trades.
It is thought that during the recession that many in construction change careers and never returned. The industry needs workers and is apparently struggling to recruit them.
The College has scheduled a similar workforce development discussion on this topic to be held from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM, Friday, December 15 in building M, room 137 of the Verde Valley campus. Representatives from the building trades who would like to attend the lunch must RSVP by December 11 by contacting Billy Norris, 928-717-7170 or email [email protected].
