SUMMARY:Preparing for the Next Generation Workforce [Panel & Networking] 8/14 NV
DESCRIPTION:PREPARING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION WORKFORCE [PANEL & NETWORKING]\nThursday\, August 14\, 2025  |  4:30PM – 7:00PM\nThe construction industry will need to attract an estimated 439\,000 net new workers in 2025 to meet anticipated demand for construction services\, according to a proprietary model developed and released by Associated Builders and Contractors.
