Only 30 percent of the nation’s metro areas added construction jobs in the past year, according to an analysis of new government data that the Associated General Contractors of America released recently. Association officials said construction employment in most parts of the country was being impacted by the pandemic as businesses and local governments curtail planned construction projects.

The construction industry is experiencing extraordinary times in the world of capital project execution. The COVID-19 pandemic forced many firms to switch to a Work from Home (WFH) environment. While the construction phase by nature requires on-site presence, the construction management, engineering and procurement teams working on pre-construction phases have switched to a mostly decentralized workforce.

With many workers now retiring from their jobs, the youth—Millennials and Generation Z—will be the ones to compose the workforce in any industry, including construction. Unfortunately, with most youths lacking interest in the construction field, construction companies may have a hard time enticing them to join.

The construction industry’s fortunes continued to diverge in October, as residential construction expanded again while nonresidential construction remained largely unchanged from a month ago and is down compared to last year, according to an analysis of new federal construction spending data by the Associated General Contractors of America.

As we move closer to a year of making social distancing a new way of describing the way we interact with one another, many lives, jobs and professions have been negatively impacted as a result. One profession that has historically been built around physical interaction is business development. But there are many ways to maintain, grow and engage with clients and prospects in a productive way that can make you stand out and continue to be successful.

CISCA is offering a new way for you to get in front of your customers with our virtual Contractor Lunch & Learn series!
This new series will begin in January and is designed to replace the in-person presentations that are not possible during the pandemic. CISCA will promote your presentation exclusively to CISCA Contractor members so you will have the target audience you want.
By participating, CISCA staff will host a one-hour Zoom session where you will present your products/services and take questions in an open forum. CISCA will invite our contractor members to the event but you can also invite products reps, independent reps and your non-CISCA member contractor customers to join. Best of all, this opportunity is FREE to you as a CISCA member! Your only cost is to provide a lunch voucher from a food delivery service (UberEats, GrubHub, DoorDash) for each contractor registered for your presentation.
Contractors will enjoy lunch at their desk while engaging with you during a virtual presentation… just like they would have done at your in-person presentation!
Register now for this exclusive opportunity by emailing us at cisca@cisca.org.
