Contractor Workforce Development Committee


This committee addresses the concerns of industry to develop an affordable, available skilled workforce.  Primary efforts have focused on the development of contractors who perform work in construction and maintenance. 

Craft Training

GBRIA members have sponsored the ABC Craft Training School since 1984.  Members donate an hourly surcharge on contracts, which is used to fund over $1 million each year of the school's budget.  Contractors also donate their time and materials to make the school a success.  View the comprehensive GBRIA ABC Partnership How To Guide.pdf for a full description of how the process works.

Awards

GBRIA is pleased to announce our second year of the Contractor Craft Workforce Development Awards in 2009!

Survey Results

The Contractor Workforce Development committee oversees two major surveys that are conducted several times per year, the GBRIA labor demand forecast and the wage survey.  Beginning in 2007, GBRIA joined its forecast with other similar organizations across the Gulf Coast to produce the Gulf Coast labor demand forecast
