By 2036, builders and tradespeople will be competing for a much smaller pool of skilled workers while needing dramatically more people to meet housing, infrastructure, and retrofit demand. At the same time, AI and new materials and technology will change what happens on the job site and the skills every role requires. This breakfast will focus on what local construction businesses should be doing now around hiring pipelines, culture, training, and technology adoption, so they are employers of choice and operationally ready ten years from now. Panelists will offer practical tips any company can start this year: building career paths, modernizing job roles, integrating simple AI tools, and reshaping company culture to attract and retain the next generation of workers.
Our panelists will include:
John Brock
Darryl Agee
Steve Cousins
Megan Atkinson
James Ulmer
