I would definitely say that one of the things we're seeing a lot of is heavy funding in the recruitment and awareness side of things—I'm sounding like a broken record here—but there's a lack of supports when it comes to those retention and advancement pieces.
Looking at one of these stats from BuildForce, we see that women accounted for just 4.8% of construction trade apprenticeships nationally, but only about 2% completed their apprenticeship in construction sectors. That speaks volumes as to how many individuals get into the trades. The recruitment and awareness investments are working, but they need to be supplemented with the long-term holistic approach that wraparound support and holistic-based programs can provide.
