CRA Membership Lunch
Thursday, March 15, 2018
11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
CRA member survey responses continually list 'labor deficit' as a CHALLENGE and TOP PRIORITY.
The employee landscape and the candidates entering our industry have transformed but we as an industry still need to supply roofing. Labor & man hours, estimates & proposals = SUCCESS. In order to keep up with the future demands and job openings, our industry needs to work together to RECRUIT, ADD, & RETAIN talent.
Join us for Lunch & a FREE* 45 minute lesson on skilled trade labor recruitment.
Topic: The Changing Landscape of Workforce
Come for an informative panel discussion on the future of workforce from industry experts on the TALENT PIPELINE, the NEW way to hire and much more!
Skilled Trade Labor Recruitment...
What are you doing?
Where are you recruiting?
Who are you recruiting in this shifting workforce climate and booming economy?
How are you reaching your recruits?
Construction trades across the country are struggling to fill open positions. We have people without jobs, and jobs without people. Today, according the the US Chamber of Commerce, 50% of open, available positions in this country go unfilled, because the candidates aren’t available. At the same time, 40% of businesses can’t take on more work…because they can’t fill the jobs they have.
THE SKILLS GAP: A disconnect between what businesses want new employees to know before they show up for work and what the applicant pool actually knows.
Come listen to a panel of experts who are tackling and forging a path on how and where the construction industry should be focusing; construction trade career awareness, retention and new recruitment channels to ensure future success.
Panel Participants:
Kami Welch – Arvada Works/Arvada Chamber of Commerce. Developing a local talent pipeline and closing the skills gap. Calling on employers to play an expanded leadership role as “end-customers” of education and workforce partnerships.
Drew Petty – Skillfull.com. Opportunities to improve hiring with a skills based approach.
TBA - Colorado Succeeds. Understanding the State Landscape Around Education and Workforce Issues.
In this 45-minute session, we hope you come away INFORMED and leave with a BETTER UNDERSTANDING about tapping into a talent pipeline strategy for recruiting skilled labor.
