Attracting Millennials: Over the past few years we have created a multifaceted approach to attracting great people from within the industry but also from nontraditional paths. For example, we have leveraged accounting staff professionals to train and fill needed estimating roles, and we have created mentor and training relationships with public and private job placement programs. Nashville’s Opportunity NOW program has enabled us to introduce to the industry more women, minorities, and inner-city youth that may not traditionally consider the trades a viable employment option.
