Wise words well said. The construction industry is not a comfortable place to be sometimes and that totally puts off the young ones. A culture change after the pandemic perhaps but it’s affecting all trades. Who knows who will be left in a couple of decades 😳😳

Very enjoyable read ,Scott

Your contributions to this campaign have been invaluable Scott Reid - a huge thank you for bringing traditional trades to the forefront of the skills shortage discourse. Let's close this gap! 💪 #ConstructionSkillsShortageWeek

Well said Scott. Good read. More needs to be done at school level to get the younger generation interested in apprenticeships and getting into construction. I don’t necessarily think they are scared of the hard work it’s just not talked about enough in my own opinion. It’s almost looked down upon

America is suffering the same fate, lack of skills in the industry and not enough training in Masonry Restoration
