The AGC Construction HR and Workforce Conference is a premier event dedicated to addressing the critical workforce development challenges facing the construction industry. This conference brings together HR professionals, workforce development experts, and industry leaders to collaborate on innovative strategies for attracting and retaining talent. With a focus on practical solutions, the conference offers a unique opportunity for attendees to engage in insightful discussions, attend expert-led panels, and participate in interactive breakout sessions. The addition of HR-focused sessions this year underscores the importance of integrating human resources with workforce development to foster a culture of growth and excellence within the industry.
Testimonials from past attendees highlight the transformative impact of the conference. One participant emphasized the existential importance of workforce development initiatives, stating, “We need more young people raising their hands for these opportunities and seeing themselves as part of the industry that makes up the backbone of the American economy.” Another attendee praised the networking opportunities, noting, “The business cards I collected at the workforce conference last year have led to ongoing collaborations and problem-solving.” The informal conversations and connections made during the conference are often just as valuable as the formal sessions, fostering a community of professionals committed to solving the industry’s workforce challenges together.
