Stadium Touted as Boost for Construction Apprentices By David Nakamura, Washington Post
Jerome S. Lozupone, secretary-treasurer of the union group Building and Construction Trades Council in Washington, said he hopes to recruit more than 100 apprentices for the stadium project. But he said finding young people interested in construction is difficult because many parents discourage their children from pursuing manual labor jobs.
'They want their kids to go to college and not into construction,' said Lozupone, who has been in the industry since 1969. 'But this is a professional career. We don't just do this for a couple of years because we don't know what we want to do.'------------------------------------------- posted 7:06 AM :: reference link ::
