Job Talks Construction Official Video Launch

Please join RESCON for the official launch of the Job Talks Construction video series!

With sponsorship from the residential and Infrastructure sectors, the series introduces students, parents, teachers and counsellors to exciting lesser knwon careers in the construction industry. The goal of the series is to engage young people to discover a new world of meaningful work and raise awareness of careers and jobs in the trades.

The event will include:

1. A presentation from the Jon Callegher, Executive Director of Job Talks.

2. Panel discussion on how industry and government can work together to implement skilled trades promotion and conquer the skills shortage that is facing employers in the construction industry right now.
