The last AWCWA Workforce and Business Development Networking event on July 13, 2023, was a tremendous success! We had several workforce organizations actively seeking individuals in the construction industry as well as organizations looking to recruit talented individuals. Additionally, we were thrilled to see individuals who had recently found employment through AWCWA efforts to help reach our goal of getting 200 people hired in the construction and related industries this year. Your support, attendance, and sponsorship is instrumental in achieving this goal. Make a difference by donating to this free event and let’s continue doing great things together.
