A strong economy demands a skilled and educated workforce, a plentiful supply of available jobs that provide a living wage, and a workforce representative of its community.

For the first time, these are coming together in an organization to help meet the long-term workforce needs of the construction industry. Construction Apprenticeship & Workforce Solutions, Inc.,—CAWS—is a private nonprofit working to build a regional pool of diverse and skilled construction workers, draw more young adults into the construction trades, and assist industry partners in strengthening their internal efforts to diversify and prepare a skilled workforce.

A membership organization created by the construction industry and its peers, CAWS represents a unique blend of businesses, trade unions, workforce organizations, educators and community organizations. All of these groups are coming together to address a common purpose—create a diverse and well-trained labor force from local communities for the construction trades. >> Next
