The construction industry continues to face a labor shortage, and in cities like Duluth, Minnesota, located along Lake Superior’s North Shore, ambitious construction and development projects are clouded by the shortage of skilled workers in the trades.
218Trades was designed to provide education and resources for young people in the Duluth area considering a career in the trades. They work directly with local construction companies and union representatives to provide apprenticeships, scholarships, and jobsite exposure to those who are considering a career in the industry.
Kraus-Anderson Office Manager Becca Bohlman, 218Trades Team Lead Dave Cook, and North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters Representative Adam Johnson discuss efforts to expand the construction industry workforce in Northeast Minnesota.
