It’s no secret—the construction industry has been dealing with a severe skills shortage at every level.  

An aging workforce combined with a growing preference of white-collar jobs over trades has resulted in this problem. The industry itself is always busy and the need for new transportation infrastructure and buildings—particularly schools, hospitals, public housing as well as commercial buildings—has increased dramatically. While at the same time, the talent needed to complete these important projects has decreased significantly.

Justis Pederson recognized this problem early on in his career while working for a global recruitment firm and has made it his life’s mission to bring awareness to this issue and make a difference in the construction world by connecting talent to organizations in need.
