Recruiting apprentices can help increase diversity in the construction industry, Lonnie Coleman of Coleman Spohn Corp. writes for the United States Department of Labor.
To move our country and industry forward, it is important for all stakeholders and trades to promote apprenticeship as a viable option for those seeking career paths. Apprenticeships can be a great opportunity to build diverse labor pools – women, minorities, people with disabilities, and others – to gain in-demand skills in careers that have a pathway to the middle class and get a college degree."
