Sundt Partnering with Central Arizona College to Address Skilled Worker Shortage in Arizona

摘要

IN A CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY that expects to have two million fewer workers than it will need in just three years, Tempe-based Sundt Construction and Central Arizona College (CAC), located in nearby Coolidge, are working on unique ways to recruit and train skilled workers. In the spring of 2016, Sundt Construction approached CAC to explore an apprenticeship partnership in heavy equipment operations. During these discussions, a larger gap in available skilled workers emerged, leading Sundt and CAC to conclude that expanding the partnership beyond the apprenticeship was necessary and warranted.
