Veterans and the Construction Industry Make the Perfect Fit

“…there is an abundance of talented individuals that possess the core values we want in our team members and who have the willingness to learn.” 

 

NEW DREAMS
Today’s construction industry represents the same kind of resurgence that the American economy experienced in 1983. After losing more than 2 million jobs at the height of the Great Recession in 2008-09, the industry is beginning to see that flash of hope that many Americans experienced more than 30 years ago.

 

NEW OPPORTUNITIES
