Industry Collaboration to Solve a Statewide Skilled Trades Shortage [W14] 2024

Work IN Roads is an Indiana-based, heavy civil engineering and construction collaboration aiming to throw all they have at the skilled trade shortage. The program focuses on civil construction pathway programming for high school students. They support the pipeline by increasing awareness and connecting students to employers, ultimately providing better roads, better careers, and a better living. The unique, collaborative approach of all the industry stakeholders supporting the state's transportation infrastructure network provides a lesson in progress and growth that could potentially be replicated in your own neck of the woods.
