    Five Construction Training And Re-Training Tools - By Loren Faulkner, Associated Construction Publications
    Construction is one of the most open employment fields in the United States. According to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, the construction industry is going to need 1 million new workers by 2012 to build and repair the nation's infrastructure, build new structures, and replace retiring baby boomers.

    The gravity of the situation is sinking in: If the average age of a construction worker is 52, with a huge manpower shortage predicted, what is the industry to do?

    Answer: Recruit aggressively from outside the construction field while offering extensive training/cross-training and re-training to those who will answer the call.
