Our Team

Our WorkforceConnect team created a networking hub, partnering with key outreach resources, organizations, and associations to provide information and educational resources for those wanting to enter a career in Construction and its connected industries. We knew firsthand the challenges of driving individuals to the industry and the need for a vehicle to connect those individuals to resources, programs, and employers that can help them achieve their career goals.
