AI Article Summary

The construction industry is currently experiencing a shortage of skilled workers as experienced employees retire in significant numbers, while new graduates are increasingly scarce. Martin Laurendeau, co-founder of Comco construction, highlights this challenge by reminiscing about the past when young graduates eagerly sought employment in the industry. To address this issue, a six-million-dollar initiative will fund work-study training programs aimed at attracting more young people to the field. This underscores the industry's urgent need to replenish its workforce and ensure a steady pipeline of skilled labor.
