The Construction Industry NEEDS MORE Content
The Construction Industry Needs More Content
Yes, you read that right. More social media content. More blog content. More video content. More podcast content. More website content. MORE CONTENT. Why?
Labor shortage: The construction industry faces a labor shortage, and content can be used to highlight the opportunities available in the industry and attract new workers.
Attract younger talent: The average age of a construction worker is 42, and many workers will be retiring in the next decade. Content can be used to dispel misconceptions about the industry and attract younger workers.
Dispell the misconceptions of the industry: Many people believe that a college degree is required to be successful. Content can be used to show that there are many great opportunities in the industry for people with all levels of education and experience.
Show the incredible aspects of construction: Construction is a challenging but rewarding industry. Content can be used to show the people, projects, and impact of the industry.
More content is the key to addressing the construction industry’s labor shortage, attracting younger talent, dispelling misconceptions, and showcasing the incredible aspects of the industry. The more people know about construction and the opportunities it offers, the more likely they are to consider a career in the field.
