131: Building the Construction Workforce

Josh Munns and Josh Denton, co-founders of Ground Up Construct, join us on the Art of Construction to share how their company is offering solutions to the labor shortage. As an owner of a window dealership, Munns was forced to turn down millions in contracts because of the lack of skilled labor available for hire. This inspired Munns and Denton to start Ground Up Construct, a digital platform helping companies across the construction industry foster a strong, safe and well-trained workforce. Ground Up Construct aims to show the next generation entering the workforce that the construction industry offers exciting and rewarding careers. Whether you are looking for a career in construction or a business ready to hire skilled trade professionals, Ground Up Construct is building up the workforce to meet the demands of the 21st century.
