ASA Connect: Business Breakfast 10-21-25

“NON-TRADITIONAL LABOR SOURCES AND BEHAVIOR-BASED HIRING, EVALUATING, AND TRAINING”

 

Date: Tuesday, October 21

Time: 7:30-9:00am [full breakfast included]

Location:  ARC Construction Services, 3515 Marmenco Court, Baltimore, MD  21230

The construction industry is experiencing a labor shortage due to increased immigration enforcement and a lack of young people entering the trades, and our culture has produced a “workforce” without a clue about the behaviors employers expect.  In this session we will talk about non-traditional labor sources and how to interview potential employees to better determine who has the desire to show up, learn a new skillset, and integrate with your corporate culture. 

Join representatives from Project JumpStart and Maryland Apprenticeship Connector in a session moderated by Warren Quinn, Executive Director of ASA of Baltimore and CEO of HUMANS AT WORK, to discuss:

  • How to work with Project JumpStart and Maryland Apprenticeship Connector to identify potential employees
  • Why your candidate interviews should focus on key behaviors rather than experience in the trade
  • How to identify the key behaviors you need your employees to follow
  • Post-hire: Measuring employees’ key behaviors and coaching to them
