Masonry ROCKS!
Future Demand for Craftsmen is So Strong that Expanding Masonry's Workforce Means Tapping into New Channels.
The Department of Labor says the U.S. needs to create 31,400 more masons by 2025 to replace mason retirement attrition and to meet increased demand for qualified masons. Which begs the question, from where will the masonry industry find newly qualified masons? The short answer is they must be recruited and trained.
How does that opportunity occur? For masonry, the answer is expanding communication to a wider audience of potential students, and just as importantly to their support group- peers, parents and academic advisors. By creating educational partnerships between the student stakeholders and the masonry trade, we can achieve the goal of expanding masonry apprenticeship training programs in Texas.
