WEBINAR: Construction Management Workforce Solutions for Construction Employers

Zoom Webinar | No Cost to Attend

Building Tomorrow’s Construction Leaders Today

The demand for construction managers is rapidly increasing, driven by the surge in infrastructure projects and Maryland’s commitment to housing expansion. Construction managers are pivotal in overseeing projects from planning to completion, and companies are feeling the pressure to fill these roles. In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 5% growth in employment for construction managers between 2022 and 2032, with a median salary of $104,900 as of May 2023.

With an aging workforce, new federal funding, and the implementation of Maryland’s Housing Expansion and Affordability Act, now is the time for construction employers to adopt innovative recruitment and training strategies. Apprenticeships in construction management offer a solution that not only addresses this workforce gap but also provides a competitive edge in today’s market.
