Aaron Witt, founder of BuildWitt, explains how young people are largely ignorant of the great jobs in the construction industry and the importance they bring to the economy.
BuildWitt CEO Aaron Witt talks about how his company is working to get more young people interested in the construction industry as it faces a skilled labor shortage.
Aaron Witt, CEO of BuildWitt, a company that seeks to help the construction industry recruit workers, and educate society on the importance of these jobs. Through his social media accounts, YouTube account and podcast, Witt has spent the last four years educating the public about the industry's benefits and value to society.
"We need over 500,000 workers in the construction industry just to meet demand. And so there's all of this talk about the infrastructure bill and the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS Act, all this spending on infrastructure. But the reality is we can't actually build it," he said. Despite these concerns, Witt is hopeful that more people will move into these industries as the cultural perception of them changes.
