Follow on Google News | Topbuildingjobs.com And The Construction Education Foundation Of Georgia Launch Cefgajobs.comCEFGAJOBS.com to serve as a model for employing students and addressing the labor shortage in the construction industry
TopBuildingJobs.com is powering CEFGAJOBS.com, and users can expect the same quality, experience, and usefulness they have come to expect from the construction industry’s leading jobs board. Executive Vice President of TopBuildingJobs.com, Justin Webb, promises “the very highest levels of technological facilitation, combined with features and special nuances that speak to the building community and the young people using the site.” CEFGAJOBS.com will have positions from a vast array of companies in all sectors of the construction industry, as well as articles, information, and job seeking tips for students. CEFGA is also intimately connected with the site. The foundation is the official accrediting agency for high school construction programs in Georgia. Through their work with the Georgia Department of Education and other youth organizations across the state, CEFGA will generate interest in the jobs board and guide young people through the job seeking process. CEFGAJOBS.com is CEFGA’s latest effort to continue their mission: facilitating increased student involvement and participation in the construction industry to help firms meet current and projected labor demands. Scott Shelar, Executive Director of CEFGA, said, “We are leveraging the programs that are already out there training students, and helping them place those students in quality jobs and internships.” Few will question the need for a student construction job board, but to those few the leaders of CEFGA insist on its importance and utility. “The popular myth that you must go to college to be successful may be a reason construction is down, but it is simply not the case. If you do not want to pursue a bachelor’s degree, there are options to pursue training and start a career. In the construction industry, especially with almost half of the workforce leaving in the next fifteen years, the most impressive thing is the upside potential: you can start off working in the field and climb as high as you want to go.” Both students planning on going to college and those planning on starting a career directly out of high school will benefit from the internship and job opportunities available to them on CEFGAJOBS.com. Such experience will make them more competitive candidates for both future jobs and schooling.
