By meeting with local groups and statewide organizations, we are working with AGC Georgia members to encourage more young people to consider careers in construction, attract more workers to skilled trades, and help support the technical schools and high school construction programs in Georgia. You are encouraged to explore the many ways your company can get engaged in these initiatives.
