Support Classroom Talks
Support Classroom Talks
The workforce shortage doesn’t begin at the hiring table. It begins in the classroom.
Most students get little to no opportunity to have a conversation with someone working in construction or the skilled trades.
Without early exposure to these careers, they may never even become a consideration.
Crew Collaborative is working to change that.
Through Classroom Talks, middle and high school students connect with real industry professionals through virtual presentations that introduce them to the wide range of careers available across construction and the skilled trades.
Schools participate at no cost, making these conversations accessible to students across the country.
