NAHB MEMEBERS ACTIVELY RECRUIT THE NEXT GENERATION Finding qualified subs and trades continues to be a challenge for the residential construction industry. But NAHB members and HBAs are stepping up to the plate and taking action. By providing supplies, scholarships, and one-on-one connections with students, HBAs around the country are getting out into their communities to spread the word about the rewarding jobs throughout the industry. Community College Outreach Members from the Dallas BA are guest lecturing at the local student chapter at Collin College in Texas. “What we are doing is not very flashy,” says Phil Crone executive officer Dallas BA. “But I think it is very impactful for the students in the program.” Supplies and Scholarship Support The Home Builders Association of Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Wash.) established a great relationship with a high school skills center called Tri-Tech, says executive officer Jeff Losey. Local 5th and 8th graders can tour the school and learn about the variety of careers in construction. The center has a presence at local school career fairs and mails postcards each year to potential students. The outreach is already paying off: Losey said the center started its electrical program this year with 50 spots available, and they received 180 applications. SIPS Strategy for 2021!
