Construction Trades Need Skilled Workers Verbatim Script
ORLANDO, Fla. -- In its latest report on area building problems, WESH NewsChannel 2 investigated a potential reason for the problems found in new Central Florida homes.
The Home Builders Association says some problems occur because young men and women are no longer being introduced to the construction trades at a young age. WESH NewsChannel 2 education reporter Kathy Marsh explained why kids today are not interested in shop class.
'Hard work, long hours. Two major reasons why Central Florida's building boom is in crisis,' Marsh said.
'When I do interviews at work, you know, I might interview 80 people in a day. But finding the people that are willing to make it a career or willing to go to school, that's the hardest part,' said Scott Browning, of Tri-City Electric.
Tom Lagomarsino, of the Homebuilders Association of Metro Orlando, puts the blame on public schools, and the silencing of saws in shop class.------------------------------------------- posted 9:04 PM :: reference link ::
