How One Woman's Construction Co-Op Could Solve The Labor Shortage Problem
Boston's building boom has zapped the available construction workforce and sent costs skyrocketing. But a student program at Harvard Business School construction sites could finally replenish the shallow labor pool.
“While employers typically go to colleges and do a five-minute interview at a job fair, they have nine months with a young person on this project,” The Compliance Mentor Group President and founder Nicole Richer said. “It's building youth relationships, and it's employers thinking, ‘Oh, this could be a talent pipeline for me.'”
