Hard hat required: Students discover construction trades By Cathy Flynn, Shrewsbury Chronicle, MA
"We want to teach kids about this industry," said Jamie Merloni, who runs the Laborer's Training Center. "Guidance counselors and teachers also need to know what makes these industries tick. Once they learn the trade, people can make $50,000 to $60,000 a year, and be protected by their union and by OSHA."
According to the Construction Industries of Massachusetts, an industry group and one of the day's sponsors, the construction industry faces a shortage of young, qualified workers. With the average skilled construction worker today being 48 years old, by 2008 the United States will have almost one million vacant construction trade jobs.------------------------------------------- posted 6:47 AM :: reference link ::
