Building Stronger Industries Starts with Investing in Our People
The construction, transportation, and maritime industries are navigating a rapidly changing workforce landscape. Economic pressures, workforce shortages, changing industry demands, and the need to attract and retain the next generation of workers are challenging organizations to think differently about how they build and sustain their workforce.
Building Forward: Safe, Healthy, and Resilient Workforces brings together employers, contractors, labor, apprenticeship programs, public agencies, workforce development organizations, community partners, and industry leaders for a day of learning, conversation, and collaboration.
Co-hosted by ANEW and COMTO Washington, the Workforce Development Summit will explore practical strategies for creating workplaces where people can enter, succeed, advance, and stay—while helping employers and industries build the skilled, reliable workforce they need for the future.
