Looking for Mr. Goodwrench Skagit County Business Pulse, WA
There are lots of people applying that have no experience in construction,' offers Beth Folkers, president of Quantum Construction in Anacortes, which specializes in large commercial and industrial projects. 'We need to have people who can do concrete, framing, some site work and have a general knowledge of all the basics.'
'We've been on an up-cycle all summer and had a lot of projects, primarily in the Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish area,' says Stephanie Wood, personnel and safety manager at Fisher & Sons in Burlington. 'We use a lot of union carpenters. But we're not seeing as many young people joining the trades as we'd like.'------------------------------------------- posted 7:38 AM :: reference link ::
