What are the ramifications of a diminishing #skilled #trades #workforce? Where are the #opportunities to #upskill and attract new talent? That may be a better question. Anna Jochim, MODL from ELECTRI International, along with National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) have partnered with the industry to create the first-ever every Project Management Apprenticeship to train the leaders of the future while capturing the #knowledge of the current #leadership in a curriculum. Nelson Squires and Wesco jumped at the chance to partner with this program. We got into the details of the problems and more on this week's The ConTechCrew.
