Pitt State's construction workshop introduces young students to building trades

Pittsburg State University organized a workshop focused on introducing young students to the building trades. The program serves as an early-stage recruitment tool to familiarize the next generation with hands-on construction skills and career opportunities. By targeting a younger demographic, the university seeks to build a pipeline of talent to address the ongoing skilled labor gap in the construction industry. This type of vocational exposure is increasingly vital for the sector as it faces an aging workforce and growing demand for infrastructure development.
