Dealer to Dealer Discussion: Workforce Development (Room Encore - Brahms 3 and 4)

13 Sep 18

10:45 AM - 11:30 AM

Tracks: Window & Door Dealer Days

Speaker(s): Scott Brown, COO & New Construction Specialist, Franklin Window & Door;

Moderator(s): Emily Thompson, Editor , Window & Door Magazine

The problem is clear: the construction industry is booming at a time when labor is scarce. The causes are just as well known: experienced workers are retiring faster than new hires can fill jobs, and skills are going with them; young people aren’t interested in the trades, nor do they possess the necessary skills. This discussion will explore how changing the training, the approach, and the perception can lead to solutions.
