NAHB and Boys & Girls Clubs of America Team Up to Promote Building Careers
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) today announced a new agreement with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to introduce more of America's youth to a future career in residential construction. The announcement was made at a press conference held during the NAHB International Builders' Show (IBS) in Orlando, Florida.
The announcement comes as the residential construction industry continues to struggle to overcome the lack of available skilled trade workers. In fact, a recent survey of NAHB members showed nearly two thirds rank this issue as the most significant challenge they faced last year.
