Three Tactics to Better Recruit Skilled Trades Talent

About the Webconference

The “graying of the trades” has become a major concern for facilities organizations. As many current skilled tradespersons become eligible for retirement, higher education facilities leaders struggle to attract new candidates from a shrinking trades labor pool, especially when private companies often offer higher base salaries.

In this webconference, the first in a four-part series, attendees will learn about three proven practices that leverage higher education’s strengths to appeal to skilled trades candidates. The webconference will highlight the value of elaborating on benefits packages, unearth common pain points that drive potential recruits away from the institution, and showcase internship programs that appeal to newly certified workers’ needs.
