Event Description

The construction industry has a workforce shortage - and Marylanders are in need of good-paying careers. Yet, no one considers careers in our industry due to stigmas. The “Image of the Industry” symposium is dedicated to transforming the perception of the construction industry. This thought-provoking symposium brings together industry thought leaders, professionals, and stakeholders for a day of collaborative exploration, innovative solutions, and inspiring discussions. Together, we will delve into the narratives surrounding careers in construction and chart a path towards reshaping the industry’s image to attract top talent. This engaging symposium features a comprehensive agenda that covers key topics essential to industry advancement. The event will address critical issues such as: - supporting employees affected by opioid addiction - uplifting youth through apprenticeship programs - empowering women in construction & on.
