MBI EXCLUSIVE MEMBERSHIP BENEFIT
MBI'S JOB BOARD BY ADAM DOBRASKA MEMBER SERVICES ASSOCIATE
MBI members have the exclusive benefit of addressing the workforce issue by utilizing MBI’s job board through iowaconstructionjobs.com. Members can have a designated person and/or people post available jobs on the Job Board in real time at their discretion. These jobs are prominently displayed, and potential employees will be able to view and apply for said position. The Job Board is a tool for members to use as they look to grow/expand their company. The value that this provides to MBI members is extremely lucrative. We market the Job Board all over the State of Iowa, so it is important to make sure that you utilize it as often as you can. Workforce shortages are an issue in most industries, so this is one way in which we can help boost those numbers in a positive way. Our goal has always been to dedicate resources to help our members add quality employees. MBI’s Job Board is a great way for us to keep accelerating and expanding our workforce initiative. MBI had a booth at the Build My Future event in April at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, and more recently participated at the Waukee APEX Career Showcase and the Iowa Industrial Technology Expo at SE Polk High School! These events were a great way for MBI to promote our members’ vacant jobs heavily. I was able to connect with many students who were interested in the trades, and showed them how to access and search for the many available jobs in the trades industry that were posted by our members. We did a phenomenal job of spreading information on how to search and utilize the Job Board at each event. The Build Iowa booth was a big hit amongst the students and their parents. The number one takeaway that I had in terms of feedback from parents is that they did not realize how many jobs were available in the building industry. The Job Board is a direct indicator of the opportunities out there just waiting to be pursued. These events are just a few of the examples of how we promote and market our Job Board. Many students were excited by the fact that they have so many options to choose from in the trades, and that can be directly attributed to them seeing the sheer volume of jobs available through MBI's website.
