Let’s Build New Hampshire!
Commercial and residential construction is trending upward in New Hampshire. However, many industry professionals are worried about an aging workforce and challenges finding new candidates with the right skills and training. To keep the trend moving in the right direction, experts say the construction industry will need new approaches to workforce training, like SPI, to fuel market growth.
I Build New Hampshire provides educational resources for job seekers. We also provide workforce development resources to construction industry employers. Stay connected with hiring trends in New Hampshire with #IBuildNH.
