Recruiting
The rapidly growing specialty construction market clearly illustrates the need for skilled workers. Attrition is affecting the electrical construction workforce. Many workers will reach retirement age in the next 5–10 years.
At NECA, we’re opening up more avenues and opportunities to involve new people in the industry in order to expand our workforce. Special events around the country help put prospective employees in direct contact with NECA contractors, while new worker classifications are helping our contractors meet their customers’ needs. NECA also has more than 300 joint training facilities nationwide in order to quickly connect prospective electricians with the necessary apprenticeship training.
Our industry is also experiencing also a shortage of new construction managers, which is why NECA contractors are sponsoring internship programs for college students and why NECA offers management training for contractors.
