Key changes are taking place within the truss and wall panel manufacturing community.
The current labor shortage is one of the biggest challenges facing the component manufacturing industry, and construction overall. SBCA staff has worked with component manufacturers around the country to gather workforce development best practices and create tools to attract people to our industry, where there is significant potential for professional growth.
This video was designed to be a powerful recruiting tool. It highlights the many reasons why it’s great to work in the structural building component and framing industries. Several members of the SBCA Emerging Leaders Committee provided footage for the video, and it is available here for component manufacturers, framers and the rest of the supply chain to download. The video can also be embedded on your company’s website and shared on social media platforms.
Everyone is encouraged to use this video to promote our industry’s value in offering professional careers with a significant opportunity to innovate and provide structural solutions that frame the American Dream.
