Building the Next Generation
The Challenge
Did you know? By 2031, 41% of construction workers are expected to retire, and only 10% of current workers are under 25. Yep, we've got a critical shortage of younger talent entering the field. That's why the ESS Foundation is stepping up - and we need your help!
