CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Across the United States, construction companies are struggling to find and keep skilled workers.
The Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) estimate that the industry will need to hire over half a million additional workers this year alone to meet demand. Labor shortages delay projects, increase costs, and make it harder to meet safety and quality standards. Staff turnover adds to the problem, with many workers leaving within months, taking experience and productivity with them.
Every year, thousands of incarcerated individuals complete accredited training in trades such as carpentry, electrical work, plumbing, and concrete finishing. These are motivated people who have proven their commitment to learning and are eager to build stable careers. Employers who give second-chance hires an opportunity often report higher retention and stronger loyalty than in traditional recruitment pools, a genuine win for business and community alike.
