Recognizing the need to hire qualified workers in the home and landscaping industries, and to help workers find jobs, the Richmond Home + Garden Show hosts TRADE DAY on FRIDAY, MARCH 6 to help bridge the local labor gap.
According to a recent survey by the Associated General Contractors of America and Autodesk, more than 80% of Virginia construction firms report that they are having a “hard time filling some or all positions,” from brick layers, electricians, and plumbers to project managers, BIM personnel, and quality control staff.
TRADE DAY was created to bring trade professionals in search of employment to those exhibitors in search of skilled workers. This is a fantastic opportunity for potential employees to learn more about local companies and various industries in an informal yet face-to-face setting.
