HBI Helping Builders Find Skilled Workers
The Home Builders Institute, the work force development arm of NAHB, is traveling the home show circuit to inform association members of how they can use its resources to find qualified craft workers.
At exhibitions held at the Worcester, MA, Home Show in February, the Rhode Island Home Show in Providence in March and last week’s MidAtlantic Builders Conference in Atlantic City, about 1,000 NAHB members have met with HBI representatives to discuss how they can find industry-trained workers through the institute’s Job Corps training programs.
Eighteen students who are enrolled in HBI programs at the Edison Job Corps Center in Northern New Jersey visited the Atlantic City show. The visit was made possible by Howard Wolfe, executive vice president and CEO of the Community Builders Association of New Jersey, and Frank Gambony, a former HBI trustee.
