We're suffering from the first damaging waves. Jobsite apprenticeship programs have long disappeared, public schools rarely teach courses in the manual arts, and the permanent loss of valuable construction skills is at risk. Profit margins suffer more and more from errors in ordering material, incorrect installation practices, and callbacks. Poor building practices undermine the respect our profession demands and deserves.
Simultaneously, new technologies continue to create revolutionary products in the construction industry, often requiring specialized installation tools and tech-niques; new building materials create an even greater urgency for education. We can no longer rely on tradition for training. The shortage of serious hands-on educational programs erodes the reputation of our industry.
OnSite Education, a strategic partnership of building industry specialists, provides hands-on training for builders and building product professionals including sales/marketing teams, and manufacturers who provide products and services to the trades.
